Oh my gosh...there’s this new stuff called printing, and people are going to go crazy reading books...stop it now!

No kidding, this was the attitude of the established world when printing made mass market information possible.

So think again about this one. There’s good and there’s bad. Many people actually have much more contact with their families through modern technology than they ever would have had before.

The ability to see whatever you want in video wherever you go has only been around commonly circa 2006. Portable electronic media that allows this is very new compared to the printed word. I think it probably changes the brain much more and differently than the printed word. I suspect this will become more apparent to society as time passes and whether it’s a good or bad thing. I can’t see it going away now, so I guess we are stuck with it in any case.

You’re ruining all the fun of the “let’s complan about how kids today are worse than they were when I was a kid “, crowd. (Which is just about everyone on FR)
