I’m a Book lover but Lister (2009) implies that one must spend time online rather than read books to understand online technological development and cultural change so I have decided to purchase a few books recommended by my peers on my kindle which is technically ‘online’. The access to information was instant but despite reading vast amounts I found it difficult to keep my thoughts in check and concentrate on a bright screen. The lack of movement meant I was having to shift in my seat to stop myself falling asleep!
