On Campus, Vampires Are Besting the Beats

In todays society students have changed from a time when students used to read novels to a generation where everything evolves around technology, in the article "On Campus, Vampires Are Besting the Beats." The Author explains how the generation today doesn't really look much to books to get there information most use internet or other technology to get there political news for example facebook and twitter. His purpose is to show his audience the teachers and students that not many students read novels nowadays they only read novels they are required to and fun books such as Stephanie Meyers Twilight series. He also mentions that students are not reading books according to there age level. For exmaple how adults are obbesssed with the Twilight series just as much as the teens and children. My opinion is that technology advances is a good thing because it helps spread the word faster and for novels people should read what the artcle calls "chilidish" books and try reading mature level novels.
