A very interesting New Yorker column here: Caleb Crain on "Twilight of the Books."
Most of you who are likely to read this post are, of course, in that minority of readers. But I found it very thought-provoking; the discussion of the way that thought itself seems to differ not only between literates and illiterates, but varies dependent on the method of writing/reading used was especially fascinating.
