Today, The New York Times posted a short, light story discussing the differences between paper and e- books. The article featured a recent survey that showed the majority of teenagers interviewed preferred paper books. Studies like these, during the time our culture is transferring everything online, are fascinating in that they beg the discussion: Is new technology always better?
This is where dystopias come in. I am not going to answer the question of whether or not new technology is always better - I am merely going to tip my hat to Aldous Huxley, author of Brave New World, and the Wachowski brothers, creators/directors of The Matrix, both of which address the question of advancing technology beautifully.
