Malcolm Gladwell is not normal, as anyone who reads him knows. He’s a thinker who thrives in escaping current ways of processing the world we live in. In this interview he displays his contrarian thinking — What if newspapers had just been invented, and the news had always come from your laptop? And he also reveals one of his secrets — he doesn’t use Google because everyone else has access to it, and contrary to what some believe, most information is not available to Google. He prefers the library.
Paper is not dead!
This is from an interview at yesterday’s National Association of Broadcasters 2009 convention.
