Poor Chuck. I read this and think he needs more _older adults_ in his life. Kidding/not kidding. Chuck’s argument lumps social media with “the news”

>“The news (and social media use) is indicative of a poor information diet.”

When I was young my grandfather would listen to KCBS news radio in the morning and KTVU 10 o’clock news in the evening. That’s it. My dad read the local Argus newspaper. That’s it.

As a youth I didn’t, but the impression was made.

Now I listen to WNYC (NPR) radio in the morning when I get up. That’s it.

News doesn’t have to be what they offer—24/7/365–but a habit of keeping yourself informed about local, regional, national and world events. I prefer one dose in the morning (“should I go back to bed?”)

My opinion in reaction to an opinion piece.
