Zombie Fallout 20: Shores of Despair by Sean Runnette (Written by Mark Tufo but the narration is what brings it to life. The books was written explicitly to be an audiobook.)

Zombie Survival Book that is mostly a comedy, mostly a daytime drama read by a Radio DJ.

    It's upsetting how it has become.

    Our child is ready to start kindergarten. Do you know what they want as supplies?

    No crayons, no pencils, no notebooks. No playdough, no shaving cream. Not even paper towels to clean up the inevitable mess.

    Headphones. That's it. A pair of corded headphones with the child's name on it. WTF???

    Their day was to be divided into hourly slots of apps. Followed by "recess" which was watching PBS Kids in the auditorium. I can't even... What are they doing?

    We are going to try to homeschool because I can't imagine I can do worse than that.

    You are an entire system. Your hands, your eyes, your brain, it's all connected.

    When you write something by hand, your brain is more engaged than it is typing. The physical act of forming letters matters. You are far more likely to recall the information hand-written versus typed.

    It should be obvious that this difference becomes staggering when you consider that with AI you aren't writing it, you aren't even typing the material. You're barely proof-reading it.
