Book review
The Revenge of Analog
By David Sax
A funny thing happened on
the way to the digital utopia.
We’ve begun to fall back in love
with the very analog goods and
ideas the tech gurus insisted that
we no longer needed.
Businesses that once looked
outdated, from film photography
to brick-and-mortar retail, are
now spring with new life.
Notebooks, records, and sta-
tionary have become cool again.
Behold the Revenge of Analog.
Author David Sax has uncov-
ered story after story of entrepre-
neurs, small business owners,
and even big corporations
who’ve found a market selling
not apps or virtual solutions, but
real, tangible things. As e-books
are supposedly remaking read-
ing, independent bookstores
have sprouted up across the
country.
As music allegedly migrates
to the cloud, vinyl record sales
have grown more than ten times
over the past decade. Even the
offices of tech giants like Google
and Facebook increasingly rely
on pen and paper to drive their
brightest ideas.
Sax’s work reveals a deep
truth about how humans shop,
interact and even think.
Blending psychology and
observant
with
first-rate
reportage, Sax shows the limited
appeal of the purely digital life
— and the robust future of the
real world outside it.

Ancestry Library Edition
The library is pleased to pro-
vide public access to the
Ancestry Library Edition data-
base. This database, the library
version of Ancestry.com, is a
genealogical database, providing
access to U.S. and U.K. census
records, Canadian records,
records from European coun-
tries, vital records, immigration
records, military records, and
records for all U.S. states.
Among the newer group of
records that are available
through Ancestry are World War
II Draft Cards for Young Men
(ages 18-44) for selected states
and U.S. Army Transport
Service Records (with lists of
World War I soldiers and the
ships they took to travel to and
from Europe).
Unlike our other genealogy
database, World Vital Records,
Ancestry can only be accessed
from within the library at any
Internet terminal. If you would
like to try out this great new
family history resource, just stop
by the Reference Desk for more
information.
The Siuslaw Genealogical
Society has contributed to mak-
ing this database available.
