Implications of Digital Reading

I believe that this course could be truly fascinating in regards to the unforeseen implications of digital reading/learning. I am an economics major and have read several different studies by economists on the kindle (e.g. Kindle readers are typically more literate, and economists also wonder how children who grow up without the presence of books will perform statistically as compared to those who do grow up with books in the house). The iPad holds even further implications for reading and learning than the Kindle. My academic interest lies in Behavioral Economics, so this course could be super neat for me. I will find the links to these studies and post them here. I can't wait until Wednesday!
