What will our children read?

Call me prude, traditional, old fashioned and whatever else but I think we should be preserving books. 

E BOOKS ARE NOT THE FRICKEN SAME AS PAPER BOOKS OTAY???


I honestly feel saddened at the prospect that our future generations will not have the opportunity to relish in literature by the beach in fear that they might get their IPad wet. Reading fiction, turning actual paper smelling pages and not knowing whats going to happen next in a book (because you haven't read the low-down online) is what I call one of life's simple pleasures. 


Every time I turn around another book store is closing. We need to support our local businesses by continuing to buy books or one day they will be considered nothing but an antique. Furthermore, do we want young undeveloped eyes and brains staring at a screen that could be potentially harming their eyesight and mental development? I just think its sad how excessive society is getting. We sit indoors all day glued to computer screens to make more disposable income and then go and spend $500/$600 on something that does most of the things our phones or computers can do just so we can have a pretty touch screen and some really cool apps. Anywho... I guess there is a reason I am often called 'Hater Hayley'.

In conclusion, save the books!
