New technology is being created constantly as the industry thrives (Doucette).

But as technology thrives will the children suffer?

Consumers are becoming media agnostic where they don’t think of differences between types of media (Alter).

This has led to the rise of E-books and other alternate ways of consuming literature (Alter).

Without thinking about the type of media is it reasonable to expect people will think of the consequences of the type they consume?

Oftentimes people simply ignore the consequences.

For proper childhood development people need cognitive stimulation and to discuss things with their parents (Korat).

The cognitive stimulation from feeling a book and turning the pages is being lost with e-books (Matrix).

Children are developing slower and learning less as e-books become more common and displace paper copies (Jha).

This is partly due to the fact that turning the pages of a book aid in creating a mental map of the text in question (Jabr).

Unfortunately, there are more causes.

Parents talk to their kids less about important topics affecting their lives (Korat).

Instead parents talk about insignificant things such as buttons and games in the e-book (Korat).

Children benefit significantly when their parents talk to them about topics that go beyond the book (Korat).

Not only do children miss out on talking to their parents, but they miss out on the story.

Research has shown that games and other interactive elements in e-books distract children and prevent them from remembering as much of the story (Jong).

Many Sacrifices
![Page 19: Caleb Markle Flipbook](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062503/58ce72781a28abdc578b5c5b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The sacrifices made in the name of simplicity are clearly apparent. Children remember less of the story, miss out on stimulus and gain less valuable insight from their parents.

We can only hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
