Quote, unquote: Print leading to a different experience

“There is something about having that large expanse of real estate in your lap, something about the format, that is extremely satisfying. Having many different things you may be interested in on a page, as opposed to a single thing surrounded by ads as it is on the web, leads to the formation of different connections and leads to a different experience.”

-- Kevin Kelly, the founding executive editor of Wired, talking about Cool Tools, an oversized 472-page print catalogue repurposed from material he had already published online. Quoted by David Carr of the New York Times.
