Call me “old school”, even though I’m not really that old. Call me “dated”, even though I still use my phone and computer for just about everything. Call me whatever you want to make me feel weird about continuing to use a hard copy address book when we have everything we need on our phones. I’m still going to do it.
When it comes to books, all types of books, I really prefer traditional hard copies to all others. Sure, I dabble a bit in eBooks and audio books out of pure convenience, but when it really comes down to it, I like to feel an actual book in my hand. And this applies to more than simply reading. Even though I have all of the contacts that truly matter at hand in my smartphone, I still keep a hard copy address book on my desk at all times. There are a number of reasons why it’s my preference, so here are just a few.
I could actually go on with reasons, but I’ll choose to spare you. Before you scoff at my old mindset, I implore you to just go back every now and then and try using a hard copy address book. They’re old school, but they’re also quite fun.
