‘Our (Bare) Shelves, Our Selves’

Teddy Wayne, writing for the New York Times:

But in our digital conversion of media (perhaps buttressed by application of the popular KonMari method of decluttering), physical objects have been expunged at a cost. Aside from the disappearance of record crates and CD towers, the loss of print books and periodicals can have significant repercussions on children’s intellectual development.

I believe this will prove to be a bigger issue than presently considered.
