My mother loved books and I grew up with books everywhere. Unlike my mother though I also grew up with television though when she thought I was watching too much of it she got rid of it. I remember reading the introduction to the Narnia series by C S Lewis and his saying his house was so piled with books they lined the stairs and he read and read.<\/p>\n
The first people who used photographs were very quick off the mark to see this is a new art form and the same goes for those in the film industry. I have heard people say that they have seen films which changed their lives and I know a book or two that changed mine because it changed my thinking. No film has ever come close and those ‘realistic’ films that make you think always come in a \u00a0close second to the books I have read on the same subject.<\/p>\n
But that does not mean films are secondary to books, just that they don’t impact on me as much as books because I had more books that films around when my mind was forming. \u00a0Today’s children will have more e-books and films around and they will find in them the ideas that change their world and leave behind the feel of a solid book in their hands and bookshelves lining their walls.<\/p>\n
Doesn’t make the ideas any less relevant or their minds are any less focused.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
