To me a magazine was LIFE, Post, ... they included photographs with
their articles;
ah, that glorious feeling when just the right image was captured

then came color prints ... then television ... then color tv ... and
now whatever this is called;
a glorified typewriter that does all sorts of things, including
shutting down whenever it feels like doing so ;-)
Ah, remembering how things once were ... simpler.
