Beth's Ponderings

   In this digital age, why IS print media still important and relevant?

   I’m not anti-technology, as I wouldn’t be able to produce this printed newspaper without it, and the ease it brings me. There are truly great things being done by technological advances all the time, And yet, there is still a lot about technology that we should pause and think twice (or even thrice) about.

   As AI (artificial intelligence) becomes more prevalent in our everyday lives, we need to have non-digital resources and activities to keep our brains healthy. Human are meant to do physical activities for our brain and physical health. Reading printed media could make you healthier and smarter!
