I was just contemplating the eBook & eBook readers. This new wave of technology makes reading books even more accessible. I wonder how this does/will affect the literacy rate in this country? Worldwide?
The last time there was a boom in the literacy rate was back in the day of dime novels because they were cheap, readily accessible, and the main form of entertainment at the time.
In comparison with that, I don't know how much of an influence these eBooks & eBook readers will have while there are video games, music to listen to, and the Internet to distract and abet procrastination.
