1. E- or Real?

All this technology and we're losing focus on reality. Is it really better and more efficient to store books on an e-reader and read it from a tiny screen that lights up and hurts the eyes? Do people who sit in front of computers all day really want to snuggle up to a device that mimics a computer at night to read a book (which is really not real)? There is something textile about REAL books. There's the smell, the touch, the ability to hear the page being turned and the  ability to mark the page with a colourful bookmark to re-discover later where you've left off. A REAL book is something to cuddle up with on a comfy chair and enjoy. REAL books aren't going away - so stay away technology!
