Oooooh yeah, I should get my hands on his book.

Hahaha well cookbooks are good. I'm not much of a cook, but I do enjoy cookbooks because of the pictures I guess and possibly also learning.

But I get what you're saying about the "distractions" nd the so easy access to knowledge and information, especially in the format of YouTube videos and tutorials. I also enjoy that kind "past time".
Now I'm also wondering, with the coming generations there will be less physical writing and more typing... Will that also be lost and should we accept it or should some exercises still be thought? I did read somewhere that children should still read and write cursive, because it helped with the development of that stage. I should look more into it though.
