Students today have more visual literacy and less print literacy. Many students do not read for pleasure and have not for decades."

    This release by UCLA newsroom sheds light on a study and quotes Patricia Greenfield, UCLA distinguished professor of psychology and director of the Children's Digital Media Center, Los Angeles as saying that "Wiring classrooms for Internet access does not enhance learning," among other statements she makes in the study.
