Literacy Debate - Online, R U Really Reading? - Series - NYTimes.com [2]

Is the Internet the enemy of reading, or has it created a new kind of reading, one that society should not discount?

Ironically,  this year-- as compared to last year --  I see more people (kids, teens, adults, seniors--all ethnic backgrounds) reading BOOKs, not laptops.  It's almost a backlash effect. [3] 


So, will bound books really go the way of letter writing, and become obsolete?
