On Reading

The first thing necessary to the pleasure of reading is that when people are young they should fall into the habit of reading. This is becoming more and more difficult. Some time ago railways had a compensating advantage - although they took people away from home, a long railway journey afforded a first-class opportunity for reading. But now things are changing. One can’t very well read in a fast-moving motorcar. And it takes people more time to move around than it took them before. The telephone is also a disadvantage. It keeps ringing and interrupting the process of reading. Radio and television also take up a lot of time that might be given to reading. The computer is another change in the same direction. All these things must make it more difficult for future generations to fall into the habit of reading. (L.A. Hill)

Friends Reunited

Have you ever wondered what your old school-mates are doing now? Well plenty of people in Britain do. One of the most successful internet ventures in Britain has shown how popular, and how lucrative, nostalgia can be.

The website Friends Reunited was started for fun in 1999 by a couple who were interested to know what their old school friends were doing. The project snowballed and by 2005, the site had 12 million members. One extraordinary fact is that Friends Reunited has never advertised, its success is entirely due to word-of-mouth.

You can search for a school, college or university and find a list of the members who were there in any year. You can also post a personal profile showing what you are doing now, and read other people's details.

Steve Pankhurst, one of the founders of the site, thinks that one of the reasons for its success is that some people like to be anonymous. On Friends Reunited, you can snoop on other people's lives without giving away anything about yourself if you don't want to. It's also an opportunity to bolster your self-esteem by showing off to everyone just how successful and happy you are now, even if you weren't while you were at school.

Friends Reunited has also led to many successful school reunions, and people meeting up with each other after many years. In particular, many people use the site to look up their childhood sweethearts and many couples have actually rekindled relationships after contacting each other through the site.

There have even been Friends Reunited weddings and babies, and Friends Reunited now has a new site called Friends Reunited Dating especially for people who are looking for love. The company has also launched other sites, such as Genes Reunited, which helps people to find long-lost relatives and build their family trees online.
