One of the top stories in today's issue of the New York Times has to do with wounded war veterans and returning to the place in which they fought. A new program called "Operation Proper Exit," which has been in the works for some time now, and has only just been revealed to the public, allows war veterans to return to places in which they were stationed during combat. Many veterans have returned to Normandy, Vietnam, and countries in the Middle East, such as Iraq and Afghanistan. It also allows these wounded veterans to see how different the world and its countries has become, and the changes that were brought to the country as a result of the war in which they fought. I thought that was a very nice story for the front page.
One thing that I don't get is how people enjoy reading entire novels on their computer screen. A story on the front page tells that libraries all across the country are now putting books online so that computer-savvy patrons can read their favorite novels or class textbooks online. In my opinion, I would much rather read a print version of a book, because I know what it's like to stare at a computer screen for hours on end reading stories and placing them on Indesign. It can seriously damage your eyes by staring for too long. I think books should be strictly in print.
