I used to read both Scientific American and Readers Digest cover to cover every month, and gave gift subscriptions. Now I cannot stand either one. And I am not the one who changed.

You are not by yourself.

Looking back, SA and RD were our Kindles which enabled us to read, learn and enjoy things from the comfort of our homes. We didn’t have to go to libraries or book stores. We received them magically in our mail.

Like the Sears and JC Penney’s catalogs were our Grand mother’s/mother’s Amazon’s to order from and get by mail, pickup in the local store or however.
