Books are bad
technology
Today people say that the youth do not read
books and that they spend too much time on their phones. As we look at the
criticism against smart phone technology today there are three points to note.
·
First,
people objected to books many centuries back
·
Second,
people feared that books would make people interact with others less
·
And finally,
if we look at books as an idea, we realise that the shape of how we communicate
depends on the materials available to us at that time--the clay tablet, papyrus
scroll, codex book--they were all shaped by the materials available at that
time
