Why I am worried about the increase of screening going on these days on screens, as opposed to real READING on paper surfaces....

Many reporters and bloggers have asked me why I am so worked up about this. Let me explain:

I am worried about the increase of screening, and the decrease of reading on paper, because......it will mean the END of critical thinking, critical analysis, thinking in general, finding meaning in words and opinions and ideas, everything will become a screened BLUR......if it isn't already.... and the future will be a world of tapped tweets and screened screeds, and that's it: the end of civilization as we know it...... with little in-depth intellectual analysis going on...everybody will be greeted each day by screened news feeds and 140-letter microbursts.....Jean-Paul Sarte and Simone De Beauvoir must be rolling over hard in their graves now..... SIGH

THAT is why I am concerned.........I worry that READING will be out, and SCREENING will take over.......that is why I coined the word SCREENING, as a warmin sign, as a wake up call. I do not like the word SCREENING or what it stands for. I am on the side of PAPER. Mr. Paper.

But I fear a screended world is taking over.
