“There’s always a new Luddism whenever there’s change.” – interview by Russ Juskalian from Columbia Journalism Review -Go read this interview it is great!
from the interview, “What the Internet has actually done is not decimate literary reading; that was really a done deal by 1970. What it has done, instead, is brought back reading and writing as a normal activity for a huge group of people.”
That’s a great point, and one that newspaper and television owners, I suspect, are terrified of. People are now “distracted” by doing things other than reading a newspaper or watching television.
