Reading the latest "AICN Comics Roundtable: The @$$holes dissect DC's September Relaunch" I realized that I'm getting old. While I am concerned about the reset/reboot, I'm more focused on digital push. Is DC pushing for an eventual shift to digital publishing? It's a major concern for me. Personally, I'd rather have the actual book in my hand.
One of the commentators stated, "Young people are ignoring the physical and going for the digital. In fact, they have gotten so spoiled to these little gizmos being able to store everything they could ever want that they actually actively dislike having to manhandle their media." Spoiled? Gizmos? I believe these are the same words that my Grandfather used when he was complaining about tech in the 80's. 80's tech!? They were complaining about walkmans, Zach Morris cell phones, and Nintendo's. All technologies that are way pasted antiquated. My point is that, while the actual arguments are different, they retain the same spirit. My concern is that I'm on the other side now.
