  • Description:  "Today some 4.5 billion digital screens illuminate our lives. Words have migrated from wood pulp to pixels on computers, phones, laptops, game consoles, televisions, billboards and tablets. Letters are no longer fixed in black ink on paper, but flitter on a glass surface in a rainbow of colors as fast as our eyes can blink. Screens fill our pockets, briefcases, dashboards, living room walls and the sides of buildings. They sit in front of us when we work--regardless of what we do. We are now people of the screen. And of course, these newly ubiquitous screens have changed how we read and write." (Smithsonian) Kevin Kelly, author of What Technology Wants, discusses how the proliferation of digital screens is impacting our reading and writing habits.
