    LOL, newspapers exploded around 1830. :) Maybe, ‘using electricity and driving cars’.

        Was thinking on magazines standing in line at CVS. They had quite a selection so I assume people still buy them, but who?! GenX is well beyond caring and most Boomers are tech literate enough. Weird.

          I remember all those kids going door to door selling magazine subscriptions when I was a teenager. Obviously people still buy them. I think my wife got a Vogue last time we traveled but that was a few years ago and we had not bought one since we last traveled a few years before that.

          So we have bought two magazines in the last five years or so. I would be interested to see just who is still buying them. I read somewhere that they are more popular than newspapers.

          my household still bought comic magazines until recently, only thing that stopped us is that we’re poor and need to save as much as possible, sadly…

          it’s pretty hard to replace a stack of magazines in the loo
