'no wifi? no problem'

No, Mum, Facebook is not a real book! Woman reads 15 page print-out of Facebook posts on the train

Well it's lighter than a laptop! The lady has gone viral for her unique way to 'get online'

THE lack of signal on the underground can be frustrating, but instead of reading the paper or getting stuck into a good book – one determined woman came up with an innovative way to access her Facebook account.

The lady, who was pictured travelling on the New York Subway, had printed out around 15 pages of Facebook comments – and was avidly trawling through them on the train.

The woman has gone viral for her internet dossier, which could be the most 'classic mum' thing of the week.

Amused by the woman’s ability to take something reliant on the internet and bring it back to the 90s with a bump – Entertainment Weekly journalist Alex Steinman took a quick snap.

Posting the hilarious photo on Twitter, she wrote: “A woman on the subway printed out 15 pages of Facebook posts and is just reading the comments”.

The post has gone viral, being re-tweeted by more than 11,000 people. It also has 22,000 likes.

Barely able to believe their eyes, hundreds of people have responded to the post.

Ian Hinkle suggested the woman was giving herself a screen break after a long day staring at a computer, joking: “Too much screen time is bad for your eyes.”

Bryan A. Davis said the woman was ‘definitely a candidate for Community Manager of the week.”

And Michael Fiedler joked: “Is she liking anything?”

Berry Ivy Park wrote: “I wish I could read with her, gotta be some good comments lol”. (sic)

And Miss Em said it would be a good solution for someone being trolled, adding: “At least she can set fire to them afterwards”.

I wonder, what would Mark Zuckerberg think of all this? I mean, who even has a printer these days?
