Reading Is The Scourge Of Childhood Because,

Television Screens Saturated With Commercials Promote The Utopian And Childish Idea That All Problems Have Fast, Simple, And Technological Solutions. You Must Banish From Your Mind The Naive But Commonplace Notion That Commercials Are About Products. They Are About Products In The Same Sense That The Story Of Jonah Is About The Anatomy Of Whales.

We Are More Naive Than Those Of The Middle Ages, And More Frightened, For We Can Be Made To Believe Almost Anything.

I Am Not A Luddite. I Am Suspicious Of Technology. I Am Perfectly Aware Of Its Benefits, But I Also Try To Pay Attention To Some Of The Negative Effects.
