So Games on phones are going to destroy serious reading as an activity in the exact same way baseball, comic books, movies, radio, television, roleplaying games, and pokemon were going to destroy reading?

By making sure children chose something else?

Call me jaded, but I think that changing the name of the bugaboo does not make the concept true. There never were any halcyon days when everyone read - so they aren't over now.
