They might as well have screens implanted in the heads. Wait, hasn’t someone written about that?

(We are currently enacting a teen descreening process in this house. It is not a pretty sight. Or sound. Door slams.)

I hope the article is right about the passion for reading that the young woman featured represents.

I got one for Christmas, read one book on it (Never Let Me Go) and haven’t picked it up since. I just didn’t like using it at all. Maybe I’m just an old fuddy duddy already at 24!

They love books. “Why would you want to read on a screen?” they demanded when we talked about it. Of course, this was last school year. By now, that thinking might be out the window. And we are in Canada where the whole e-reader is fairly new compared to the U.S.
