Wake up; get out of bed; have a hot drink; maybe breakfast/workout; hygiene routine. It's not that esoteric, and surely you remember a time before smartphones?

  Yeah, before smartphones people turned on the news first thing in the morning. They used to have traffic reports for your commute, weather, breaking news etc. People even had radios and sometimes televisions in the bathroom to listen to this while they showered.

  They had AM/FM radio alarm clocks tuned to a news channel. Is that really any different?

  I'd get out of bed, retrieve the paper, and read it over breakfast. Not really all that different from reading the news online over breakfast.

    Still arguably better than waking up, grabbing the paper immediately, and reading it probably before even getting out of bed--which is what the article is about. To me, that's very different from getting out of bed, retrieving the paper, and reading it over breakfast.

      Why?
    • cimmanom 8y ago
      I get out of bed and walk to the kitchen (admittedly, only about 15 feet across a studio apartment) before reaching for my phone, but it's still within a minute of waking up.
