Summary | Teenagers don't read a lot. This is not new, but nowadays texting and social networks are a priority among young people. They want immediacy, community, and noise, and reading equals silence, long time, and solitude. Young people read differently, which is why Bayard decided to focus on short stories instead of novels. Elementary schools are experimenting something new: the reading machine. Users can alternate on a tablet reading and listening phases.

Summary | Toddlers overexposed to screens seem to demonstrate symptoms similar to autism, a doctor says. Toddlers have already access to smartphones. Sofiane, for instance, got his first tablet at the age of 18 months. His kindergarten teacher noticed that he never wanted to sit next to his peers, and would often space out. Moreover, he always needed an adult next to him to guide him. Those "screen children"often exhibit developmental delays as well as relationship, language and behavioral disorders. Children shouldn't have access to screens before 3. Some parents think that giving their toddlers "learning tablets" will help them in the future.

Summary | A school principal explains how digital devices can help children learn. He wants to progressively digitize 50% of the school material. Smartphones and laptops don't ruin the school system; we just need to know how to use them. At his private school, everyone has a an iPad where they can find their class material. Now, the school provides each child with an iPad, but soon everyone will bring their own device. Our digitized society has the advantage of tightening social relationships between people, which is something not everyone agrees with.
