Day 120-A child of Digital media writing a near-future Article
I come from digital media. The first time I handled mobile phone when I was in 2nd standard. Baba bought Nokia 3410 i.e The Candybar. Then wishing 4 months Aai bought one and thus the mobile net spreader in our family. I got my first phone when I was in 8th Standard. And I and my cousin created my Facebook account in the same year. I don't even remember the age I started using computer it was bought by my parents for their work purpose but I used it for painting and NFS. :P
My point being I have been introduced to print media when it had lost it's charm. And I reconnected with it not by curiosity but by Mumbai University's study-programme. We wasted first few months cursing the course saying it's outdated considering the latest progress in advertising. But now while working on this project, I am designing a news article showcasing the new product that I am designing. I kind of had a sudden interest in columns and print media in general. I believe in nearby future newspapers and magazine will become one of those Vintage things and will be kept in the museums. I wouldn't be surprised if they Calvin Klein or Zara launches a diffuser or even an air-freshener which smells like old papers/books.
Also, I was just wondering why old books smell. This was the first that opened on google. It's interesting. I can't let myself dig deeper into this otherwise I'll get distracted for real!
