I am conscious of not being a digital 'native', and you probably find it ridiculous that I'm amazed at people's addiction to texting in restaurants. Yes, I get deeply upset about people sitting together but reading or watching different things on their tablets and phones. And I love reading, so the thought of the decrease in the number of libraries depresses me. My anger at people downloading pirated books for their e-readers is intense. But even I am not resistant to change. Last year I decided against taking novels on holiday and bought an e-reader instead. It's now normal for me to listen to an audiobook while driving to work. And while I used to get annoyed at my kids being on their computer all the time, now I'm actually convinced of the importance of YouTube / convinced of YouTube's Importance in encouraging kids' creativity. Still, part of me is terrified of being replaced by an app, which is probably silly because I'm a chef in a five-star restaurant.
