Am I Nerd...??

I regularly get messages from my credit card people
Save paper, save trees
Evidently, they don't want to send me my monthly bill as hard copy
Strange, nobody says, stop buying books and newspapers
I subscribe to TOI every month, but I rarely sit and read the entire newspaper
Reason is simple, I have TOI application on my mobile phone
And I get a notification of every important news as it occurs
I am much better informed than any regular newspaper buffs
I would repeat the same rhetoric about reading text books and expensive fiction
They are all available on the net for free
I feel much more comfortable reading on a laptop or a smartphone
The matter is written in much more friendly pattern and also with option of increasing the font size by zooming
YouTube and Google have answers to anything and everything
Unlike beating around the bush seen in every textbook
You save your precious time and you get your answers in minutes
Your "funda "about some issue may not be clear even after reading long lengthy chapters of textbook...I mean your concept...and perspective
But you can understand the core of the discussion within minutes when you surf
I have finished dozens of books in just few years since I became a nerd on net
I was a slow reader when I used to read my textbooks
But now, I'm amazingly fast reader on the net and grasping what I should
Please think over it...I can anticipate your reply...that you're used to the feel and smell of the paper...and you love to sit with your cosy book at a corner
I would say that you just need to get over it and start reading on net
And save paper and save trees...and your precious money...
