[LM_NET] Computers vs. Books

[l p <enigma122080@YAHOO.COM>]

Please understand that I am in no way against computers and technology.  I 
understand that in today's world technology is the way of life.  An posting was 
made in reference to: Less reading = Lower test scores
   
  How do you combat that equation when society as a whole have embraced technology 
so whole-heartedly and the emphasis on actual book reading have diminished?  Even 
the educational level of our reading have been degraded to challenge and combat 
entertainment?  So how can we inspire children to actually benefit themselves by 
what they read?
