Magazines

Workshopshed

I used to be an avid reader of Practical Electronics back in my youth but stopped reading when I realised that the projects were just repeating again and again.

 

Do people still read electronics magazines? Are they still relavent?

    I get my info online too, but I tend to not read much magazine style publications there mainly because I already spend more than 8 hours a day looking at a computer screen.

    I'd probably enjoy a paper based hobby-tech magazine like MagPi or Make magazine, but I don't really see them in our stores and I just don't find the value in a yearly subscription given that I'd probably flip through most of it pretty quickly.

     

    One thing that used to bother me about such magazines (woodworking back then) is that they had all these fun projects and ideas but I never had time to do any of them, which was depressing. I prefer to DO rather than just read about it.
