can two people ever be satisfied at the same time

It is a contrast by the two different writers that one laments the idea that technology may be the end of the book as we know it today. One looks at the book with a fondness that some may have looked at the original writings and feels as if his ‘home’ is being destroyed before his very eyes. He never thinks about how others before him may have felt the same way about books as he does about how computers will replace books. The other writer is more concerned with how enjoyable reading is and how emotions can be stirred by escaping our world and living an imaginary and possibly exciting life through our reading. The second does have concerns in his own way about how technology has hurt the reader. He sees the old ways of reading aloud as key to understanding and that so many in our country have been left behind and don’t have the ability to enjoy reading.
