SHUT UP IT'S 2010 GET WITH IT

Not to be a pretentious prick but I love reading The New York Times every morning. Lately, the editorials have been pissing me off. I understand that it's sad that the Lincoln Center Barnes & Noble has closed down but that doesn't mean people don't read novels or cultural studies anymore. We now read them on screens instead of pages. Nook and Barnes N Noble are the same thing. Since Plato, older generations have lamented the death of intellectualism in the younger generations. Just because it's not on a page doesn't mean no one cares about anything. Also, Kindles will make indie bookstores the new record stores. Libraries won't die. They'll just evolve into online databases. Calm down! The times are just a'changin! It's those who try to live in the past who are going to end up archaic or bankrupt. Just go ask the recording industry.
