According to a study, 10% of people say they don’t own a SINGLE book.  And for people under 24, that jumps up to 20%.

So what do we own?  Gadgets, and lots of ’em.  The average person has more than eight things linked to the Internet . . . including computers, phones, tablets, video game consoles, and everything else.

And in homes with kids, there are 11 devices on average linked to the Internet.

The study also found one out of three parents sometimes discipline their kids by cutting off their access to the Internet.
