Aaron Sorkin talks about future Steve Jobs movie, impact of technology on his writing [ENGADGET]

The highlights included a frank quote that whoever ends up playing Jobs in his movie — not to be confused with the one already in production with Ashton Kutcher — will have to be “good, and intelligent.” He also confessed to being fully engaged in the “three screens” movement, but wasn’t too prideful to admit that he taps into the brain of his 11-year old daughter for lots of technological help.

Wasting time is new divide in digital era [THE NEW YORK TIMES]

As access to devices has spread, children in poorer families are spending considerably more time than children from more well-off families using their television and gadgets to watch shows and videos, play games and connect on social networking sites, studies show. This growing time-wasting gap, policy makers and researchers say, is more a reflection of the ability of parents to monitor and limit how children use technology than of access to it.
