A great Slate piece on why you don't find technology (computers, cell phones, etc.) in children's books.
Quoted: Technology, as we well know, has become a ubiquitous part of American children's lives. And yet there is one place—a whole world, actually—where children are safely walled off from wired and wireless devices. That is the world of picture books.

This is great, Shiwani! Love those illustrations. I like the nostalgia of the old-fashioned drawings and didn't expect to appreciate the more modern ones, but "Trainstop" and "Jellybeans" are so fun and appealing!
Plus, being reminded of "I'm talking to you, cordless!" to John Cusack just makes me laugh.
