As Technology Coordinator of a large urban program, I spend 3/4 of my life in front of computers, and I advocate them to everyone I know. But when I want to settle down for a good read--in the tub, in bed or under a tree--a traditional, low-tech book is what I crave. Also, both of my grand-daughters, ages four and nine months, know how to use a computer (Yes, even the baby. I got her baby jump start, and she already can move the mouse). But when we want to be close, they are in my lap with a beautiful book. Passing on a love of reading is my favorite way of showing love for them. Today's technology is just another available tool to assist our learners in acquiring necessary skills. Books are still a viable form of technology as well. Anyone who doesn't value or understand your sentiments needs to leave the list. Arlene Cianelli Greater Pittsburgh Literacy Council
