Saying ‘Goodnight Moon’ No Longer Relevant to Today’s Hybrid Children/Robots (thepoliticker.observer)
Once upon a time, children were put to bed with a bowl of mush and an old
woman saying “hush.” Not anymore! Instead of the classic children’s book
_Goodnight Moon_ by Margaret Wise Brown, _The New York Times_ writes that an
updated version, called _Goodnight iPad_, by David Milgrim (who writes under
the pseudonym “Ann Droyd”), has sold 120,000 copies. The book is billed as “a
parody for the next generation.”
“The contrast between that quiet book and our noisy, buzzing lives seemed ripe
for exploration and humor,” Mr. Milgrim tells the _Times_. Instead of the
moon, the comb, the brush and the mush, the mother says goodnight to a lot of
brand-name technology including Nooks and “LCD Wi-Fi HDTV.”
