When I was that age I was saving for things from book club. There were no things such as ipads, having a coloured "gameboy" was the top thing!
Maybe I'm a bit more old fashioned, I don't hate technology, I have a smart phone (not an iphone) and a laptop (not a macbook) and yeah the internet is great for everything.
But my point is that technology can't take over books. I still will buy all my textbooks for uni. I still print all the notes and articles I need. I cant read of a screen constantly, I need notes in front of me that I can highlight and make more notes too. I just see the future in having everything replaced by technology when sometimes something so simple could help and be better, technology will not always be reliable.
We need more books like that of Harry Potter which keeps people reading (until they make movies out of it and people watch those instead).
But there is still some hope in the world, I saw a young girl on my tram the other day in oshkoshbgosh overalls and had a Beatrix Potter book.
