@thrasherxy @figgdimension Maybe writers stop using digital technology. Maybe film watchers attend live theater. Maybe readers crack a real book.
@thrasherxy Yes, and they will do it badly, as well. But so many things now are being dumbed down by hiring cut rate teachers, therapists etc. already that people will just have gotten used to it.
