Read: I used to like going to have my hair cut. I liked the mirrors in the room and all the smells of the lotions and shampoos. I liked to sit there--young and fresh and pretty--and see what the women were having done, to make themselves look younger and prettier. I liked the way my mother’s hairdresser teased me about boyfriends and dances. Not anymore, though. Somebody held the door open so my mother could wheel me in, and a few people who had met me came around to say how sorry they were.

Once these disparate parts were held together by a
common enemy, by the fault lines of world wars and the
electrified fence of communism. With the end of the cold
war there was the creeping concern that without a focus for
hatred and distrust, a sense of national identity would
evaporate, that the left side of the hyphen-African-
American, Mexican-American, Irish-American—would
overwhelm the right. And slow-growing domestic traumas
like economic unrest and increasing crime seemed more
likely to emphasize division than community. Today the
citizens of the United States have come together once
more because of armed conflict and enemy attack

Friar Laurence: I will be brief, for my short date of breath
Is not so long as is a tedious tale.
Romeo, there dead, was husband to that Juliet;
And she, there dead, that Romeo's faithful wife:
I married them; and their stolen marriage-day
Was Tybalt's doomsday, whose untimely death
Banish'd the new-made bridegroom from this city;
For whom, and not for Tybalt, Juliet pin'd.
You, to remove that siege of grief from her,
Betroth'd, and would have married her perforce,
To County Paris: then comes she to me,
And, with wild looks bid me devise some mean
To rid her from this second marriage,
Or in my cell there would she kill herself.
Then give I her, — so tutor'd by my art,—
A sleeping potion; which so took effect
As I intended, for it wrought on her
The form of death.
—Romeo and Juliet,
William Shakespeare

Tablets are the ultimate shortcut tools: Unlike a mother reading a story to a child, for example, a smartphone-told story spoon-feeds images, words, and pictures all at once to a young reader. Rather than having to take the time to process a mother’s voice into words, visualize complete pictures and exert a mental effort to follow a story line, kids who follow stories on their smartphones get lazy. The device does the thinking for them, and as a result, their own cognitive muscles remain weak.

–“What Screen Time Can Really Do to Kids’ Brains,”
