In this cartoon, a boy is talking with his mother about his teacher's reading assignment; whereas, he seems to have some misconceptions about e-reading. From my perspective, e-reading is good but it cannot be simplified as reading Facebook and text messages online.For one thing, with the advent of the smart phone, e-reading has enjoyed increasing popularity among young people in recent years. Despite the fact that e-reading takes up so much time we spend on traditional reading, I don't think it's a bad thing considering that e-reading offers us more chances to read at least. For another. however, it should be clarified that e-reading means reading books or articles in electronic form, which cannot be confined to reading text messages or browsing social networks such as Facebook. But I am regretful to find some young people immersing themselves in social networks sometimes.Therefore, in the era of the Internet, we must be well aware of what e-reading truly means and what is really worth our time and attention.
