Interesting observation made by Postman that writing may potentially threaten memory. Did he mean a collective memory of humanity, a memory of a certain society, or an individual? I would love to read his arguments when I have time because usually something written is considered to be well remembered in the future. (Unfortunately, I couldn’t download his book on the spot.)

As for TV, I think it has lost its influence, and modern kids are more inclined to read and write to keep in touch with their peers.

Thank you for recommending Oxford Learner’s dictionaries to us, Ernesto! I personally prefer the Cambridge electronic dictionary mostly because it differs British and American pronunciations of words. Collins electronic dictionary is especially good with the phrasal verbs though Cambridge is not bad either. Longman is quite trustworthy too. I believe we can agree that all dictionaries are good and useful, even the Urban dictionary.
