It's too late


I saw a picture on Facebook today of a book with the title How to Read a Book: a Classic Guide to Reading More Intelligently.  The person who posted the picture was a young father of about 28 years with three children.  His caption read: Better late than never.

Maybe for him.  But it's really too late even for him.  A person cannot ignore the blitz of media available in today's society.  Learning to manage the media is what he should be reading.  His three children are dead in their tracks if they follow the advice in this book.  They need to know how to present with all of media's available tools including streaming video.  YouTube is merely an intermediate step to what will be available when his children are adults.

There is nothing about reading that will prepare the children of today for what they will need tomorrow! Nothing!!  Absolutely nothing!!!  Zero to the nth power!!!!
