Issue #16-Is it time to switch to digital textbooks?
I personally can't stand digital textbooks. I find it hard to stare at a computer screen in order to read the information and it gives myself an excuse to not read. Textbooks are boring wether they are in print or on the computer. I prefer to have the book in my hand and to be able to flip through the pages and go back and forth without getting a headache from my computer screen moving too fast. Although e-textbooks can have links that take you to different places that can teach you more about a topic printed textbooks can do the same. They can lead you to another book or a previous owner could have written in the margins are made notes on the reading that you can learn from as well. I also find it very interesting that issue #15 talked about too much screen time yet they are pushing e-textbooks which would include more screen time.
