I still have the ticket stub from Elvis Costello at Satellite City in Glasgow, 1977, The Stiff Records Tour, my first passport, my birth certificate, a couple of kindergarten photos and a few other pieces of printed material from days gone by. I kept the manual from my first Sony Walkman, don't know why, but I did. I am not fighting the digital age, I think it's amazing the amount of things our devices can carry or have immediate access to. I do believe that everyone should experience the sheer joy of a printed piece, one way or another. I believe it touches people in a unique way and for all of it's flaws, it has one very powerful thing that no other media can supply. Touch. I am sure there is some boffin somewhere working on a screen and an app that makes it feel like a brochure while you are reading it on a screen, should I patent that now? Then in a few years time I can get into a patent lawsuit with one of the big boys. So as you are creating content, keep print in mind, it has a place at the table, a space in the digital age, where fleeting seconds change to milliseconds with one click and as moble speeds get faster and attention spans get shorter, maybe a little bit of old fashioned print, will save the day.
