Bill gates statement on Why Lit
Books are anachrostic objects. Computers can replace books
Why does Llosa believe that Audiovisual materials can’t replace books
one that seeks neither information nor a useful and immediate communication, can integrate on a computer screen the dreams and the pleasures of words with the SAME SENSATION OF INTIMACY, the same MENTAL CONCENTRATION AND SELF ISOLATION that may be achieved by the act of reading a book.
What happens to a world without Lit
Without it, the critical mind, which is the real engine of historical change and the best protector of liberty, would suffer an irreparable loss.
