You are so right on this one! I too am big into technology, I better be my career depends on it. However I find comfort in a good book. I prefer science fiction\fantasy novels myself and in having such a vivid imagination as I do, I can really get lost in a good book. After reading your article it didn't take long to think about all those people I know that do not read, actually it was harder to find a group that still do. Has technology taken over the lives? I don't know if it's all that, I know some that don't even own a computer, and still don’t read. Is it laziness? Are lives that busy that people just don't have time? I have a friend that walks down town reading his book, still to this day. It's a good thing he lives in a small town or it might not be so good for his health, that doesn’t get run over. He is looked at in many different ways, most as being eccentric. I look at him and smile; it's nice to see someone still with a passion for a good book. Hi Richard,

The world is too focused on making our lives easier. IE, How much weight could be lost collectively throughout canada,if we all had to walk into the coffee shop's to purchase our items instead of driving through.Or have to get dressed ,go out and start the car on the cold mornings instead of pressing a button.I'm not sure what that number would be but i am sure that it isn't a small number. Pretty soon we'll all be hooked up to some kind of computer that will do everything for us with just a thought, and we will continue to grow larger and weaker. But todays technology is just the tip of the iceburg of whats just around the corner.We as a species are evolving at a staggering rate,i think were lucky to still be able to read books today.
