My one coffee shop
that I am always in(aka my part time office)I like to observe what is going on around me. What
I observe is 90 percent of people with a blackberry, Iphone, and computer, but hardly anyone reading the newspaper reading a book.
What happened to
sitting at a coffeeshop and reading a nice book or the newspaper without a technological device going off on the table? Yes, people could be reading
on their computers and I know people are working and being productive. I just
feel concerned that I do not see enough Moroccans reading. Reading is important at any age and for any
culture. When I enter this coffee shop and do my daily observations, I am so
happy when I come across someone reading a book. I try to make eye contact and
give them a big smile.
This post is not to
say that Moroccans do not read, but I do observe that Moroccans do read less
than other cultures. This post is to bring attention to the problem with
technology. It is distracting us away
from books. Five to ten years ago at
the coffee shops, you might have seen double the amount of people with books. People
are so consumed with their email, iphones, whatsap, instagram, twitter, and
facebook rather than just bringing a plain old book to the coffee shop.
Come on Casa
please spend time reading- Priscilla has faith and believes in your interests, talents,
gifts, and abilities.
