However you do learn more by reading a book on the subject that surfing the internet and watching dvd’s, texting messages, etc. Ours is a very visual world.

As a person who grew up in the 50’s and 60’s reading was the only outlet to really explore different cultures. Now everything is very categorized by interests, etc. I still read but not as much because my eyesight is not that great. I enjoy exploring the new culture but am not addicted to it. There is nothing more compelling to me than “a good read”.
