You prefer other devices, not everyone does. Most people nowadays own a smartphone but not a laptop. And books are arguably less engaging than apps for a generation that grew up not reading them (hard to swallow, since I'm an avid reader, but it's true).

- bkor 8y agoIn Netherlands they've been using all kinds of IT devices for 10+ years (depending on the school, etc). Recently a study was published which made clear that it doesn't benefit at all plus that books + notepad might be more beneficial. Cannot find the article about it.
- michaelmrose 8y agoThe idea that you think smartphones are an apt replacement for books and laptops indicates a failure to evaluate both.
