Minds need rest and work. They rest when you let them wander freely—go where they please, perch where they like. They work when there is a dangling mental rope for them to grasp hard and climb. But the iWorld fails to supply the child-mind with either of these basic needs. These fancy digital toys create a new kind of mental purgatory instead.
What do we need for a creative mind?
Read, read, read. Read everything -- trash, classics, good and bad -- Read! Then write. If it is good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out the window.
-William Faulkner
