Feel free to post your thoughts. If technology does hinder your ability to be social, what do you do about it?

It's so sad to hear that children are more likely to forget about the good past times of reading their favorite novel. I think what's happening here is pretty clear. Because iPads have an immediate source of gratification it's almost like they're an oxy-moron. To read a book on an iPad is like drinking sprite and eating bananas on a roller coaster. It starts out fun, but then just ends up to be a big mess. If you want to read a book read one made from paper that has character. Not this soulless technical gear that is really just enfeebling us to be a mindless ill literate consumer zombie.
