“To read or not to read? How to support young adults reading in the midst of a digital revolution”. The release of the Warsaw Observatory of Culture’s Guide
The guide can be explored linearly or selectively – like a map or a dictionary, which can be returned to as needed. From the PISA 2000 report and Joanna Dobkowska’s article featured in the publication, we learn that “reading for pleasure has a greater impact on children's future than their economic status.” New technologies, enormous social pressure, ubiquitous short forms and instant gratification – these constitute the revolutionary nature of changes in the lives and development of children and young adults. The digital revolution, although increasingly transparent, should not disappear from the radar of contemporary culture researchers. It is through the lens of the digital revolution that we see scenarios that will help books find their place in a world of constant change.
