Obviously, in the interests of logic and fairness, I have no doubt that these campaigners will treat paper the same way, and introduce a Paper Free Week. To paraphrase them, "Just as a healthy diet can certainly include cake, so a balanced childhood can include paper time. Reading books, making paper aeroplanes with Grandma and writing stories are all great fun. It’s just there are so many other fun things to do if you step away from paper." And quite understandably - can't have all these bookworms, budding authors and origami enthusiasts frittering their childhoods away like the scientists, researchers and other curious children who use their gadgets with screens. In fact, I'm going to kickstart Paper Free Week for them with 75 activities that involve some sort of screen, that can all, with some care, be undertaken on Paper Free Week. I was going to do 100, but Squidge wants the laptop now to print off another optical illusion. Ooh, dangerous one that, I'll have to wait until it's neither Screen Free Week nor Paper Free Week to allow him to do that!
