"Using paper for the purposes of magazines & newspapers is a heinous waste of resources when the internet has permeated our lives so completely."
All the resources that go into making the electronics to connect and view 'paperless' info, all the batteries that are required to be mobile, replacing all the electronics with the fad of the month, replacing the batteries, etc. All the chemicals and process leftovers for circuit boards, various chips and microprocessors, all the nasty crap in batteries, fans, wiring. The resources to generate 120 VAC to power a quatro core, turbo, hot-shot PC to 'read' a magazine. I get a hardcopy in the mail, read it, save it for future reference or place it in my recycle container at my house. I don't see the heinous waste in hardcopy magazines.
