Put down the ebook for a real book

As a child in kindergarten, we traced our ABCs and 123's and read books to gain skills, techniques that are no longer needed thanks to technology. Everywhere you look, somebody has an iPhone or iPad or some sort of smartphone and tablet, often times both. They're deterrents, though. Can't you see? Yes, technology helps to make lives easier, but it...
