How many bookcases are there in your home?

How often do you get a book from a bookcase in your home?

Only when I need to look up something, usually it's faster than Google. Not often though, maybe once every few months?

Have you gone paperless?

I'm reading some books from my kindle to be honest, mainly because it has a backlight.

dougw said:

Have you switched entirely to video?

I do watch more videos than I do read books, but then I read more forums and blog posts than I watch videos.

How many minutes a day do you listen to a radio?

Unless I'm in the car alone, I don't listen to the radio.

How often do you touch your smart phone in a day?

It's always in my pocket, but usually I pick it up on work breaks, or when I need to use two factor auth.

dougw said:

Do you watch more video on your smart phone than your TV?

Yeah, I don't have a television. In the UK you need a TV License to watch live broadcast television, and I don't have one.

I watch more video on my desktop computer than I do on my smart phone, and watch more on my smart phone than I do on my TV.

Do you have a landline?

No. Cheaper to have broadband only.

Do you still read newspapers?

Last time I read a newspaper was probably 2005-2010 when there was a free one available on the bus when I took it to the city centre.

Does all your content now come from the Internet? 

No, it also comes from books, or other people. Frankly I miss having an easily accessible local library. The nearest one is in the city, and I now live in a "commuter town" which has a 'corner shop' and that's it. It's homes everywhere, and some cows.

"Frankly I miss having an easily accessible local library."

I live in a town, circa 150k population, with zero bookshops (the last one closed quite a few years ago), there's a WHSmith which doesn't count. Really depressing.

That reminds me how depressing I find large airports that do not have a single book for sale. It is an alarming trend. I would even be okay with a WHSmith.

Years ago I used to always buy a book when going through the airport on a long trip, but as you say no more.  Seattle has a good public library system, including a fair number of electronic copies that can be checked out.  When I was still travelling quite a bit I would load up books up on my iPad from the library before getting to the airport.
