Wow- look at this comment about this article- The process of reading transmitted light vs. reflective light is processed in different regions of the visual cortex. The regions of the brain devoted to the hand are many and varied. Reading accesses both the visual ability and the kinesthetic/hand abilities/regions of the brain. The pixelated microsecond flashes on a electronic device, or a computer, do not engage the many regions of the brain devoted to hand/speech as print in a hand-held book. The combination of data overload available today in a form that promotes reduction of long-term memory does not bode well for future decision-making and serious cognitive pursuits. Marshall Mcluhan of McGill intuitively posited "hot and cold" media in Understanding Media back in the 80's. And Jane Healy in 1980, wrote about the effects of TV on children in her book, Endangered Minds. I'm far from a Luddite on tech developments. But the neuroscience research is becoming stronger everyday on the lessening abilities of learning and memory with our new reading devices. Book rhymes with Nook but that's the end of the similarity.
