…while watching TV or surfing the web is not, usually?
It seems to me that what one is reading is almost irrelevant. There are plenty of dumb, silly or hateful books. Still, reading is widely accepted as a sensible pastime.
As soon as a screen is involved, many people seem to get suspicious. I could be reading Dickens on my mobile phone – I would still be classified as “not experiencing the real world.”
Thoughts?
