Will include touch-screen games, such as "blowing the leaves off of tombstones to reveal the writing beneath", as well as rotten Neo-Goth music to "set the tone for a different chapter from the book".
It's finally happened.
I'm becoming distrustful and dismissive of how the next-generation want to deploy new technologies.
I seriously hope this isn't a success.
I can imagine some government-funded education QUANGO suggesting this as a way of getting boys reading. *Imagines film of classroom with fifteen boys jabbing screens to 'blow the leaves off of tombstones'. Education minister's voice over intones optimistically 'look how enthusiastic they are about reading!' Fast forward eight years to these young adults taking their GNVQs in 'advanced touch-screen competence' - 'It's worth three GCSEs at grade C'
