Chapter 4 Q.2

Textbooks are bad enough reading the endless lines of heavy textbooks. I can’t even begin to imagine staring at a luminescent 13-inch screen to get the same information.  I have tried it. I have read the scripture on my iPod touch for a few nights and after even a few minutes my eyes and mind are exhausted.  Even now there are options that make both channels available, but if I could I would prefer paper over a lighted screen any day. It’s a luxury to see everything on the internet if I forgot my books or honestly had to much to carry from class to class, but with my schedule it is very simple to schedule what books I need at one time to make my load light. Some will use it, but most will not. Electronic viewing will never become the only medium for text; there will always be paperback and bindings to which we will decode messages. It has simply been around too long to go away.
