"The new electronic interdependence recreates the world in the image of a global village."
- Marshall McLuhan, "Gutenberg Galaxy", 1962
"Books were only one type of receptacle where we started a lot of things we were afraid we might forget. There is nothing magical about them at all. The magic is only with what books say, how they stiched the patches of the universe together into one garment."
- Ray Bradbury, "Fahrenheit 451", 1951

Just in case you hadn’t seen it yet here is another aging author too tired to embrace change and to scared to risk innovation. I love Maurice Sendak but I also love my parents and I wouldn’t trust either to open a zip file let alone figure out an ebook. No reason to get angry with people like this - just buy them a Jitterbug and move on.
