A lot has happened this week in the glass industry, and, as always, USGNN.com brought you a lot of that news. All you have to do is turn on your computer, a couple of clicks and presto! You're there. The industry is at your fingertips.
There's no doubt that the world as we know it is moving closer and closer to a paperless way of life. Does that mean magazines, newspapers and books will one day become obsolete? I doubt it. I find a certain comfort in picking up the book or magazine I want to read, holding it and reading it, page by page (not click by click).
There's a certain intimacy I think you can find in reading a book that you're just not going to get from reading a computer screen. It's hard to imagine curling up in front of a fire on dreary, rainy day, glass of wine and a laptop. Swap out the laptop for your favorite reading material (USGlass, perhaps) and it's a different picture.
The glass industry has been slower than some other industries to embrace online technology, but we're moving in that direction. More companies are offering online catalogs, shopping and purchasing; more are launching websites where they can also offer online customer service. Some might not like it, but we're changing--we can't afford not to.
As you move more and more into the online, computer-powered world, take a moment to think about how easy so many things are nowadays--it's all right at your fingertips--even USGlass www.usglassmag.com).
