Next Gadget - 次のガジェット

According to Reuters,the amount of time children spend reading books for enjoyment decreases as they use cell phones and other mobile technology, but e-books might just bring them back to literature.

And there was a study,over 1,000 children and their parents  participated in,which was conducted by educational and media company Scholastic and Harrison Group, a marketing and research consulting firm, also found parents are concerned that greater access to technology would limit time reading or with family.

About 40 percent of parents believed that time spent online or on mobile devices would reduce time for books or engaging in physical activities. Thirty-three percent were concerned technology would lead to less time spent with family.

However, the study found that technology might actually encourage a child to read. Of the kids polled in the study, 57 percent said they would be interested in reading an e-book.

Maybe e-book reader is our next gadget to buy!
