The bonding of families, if it even exists any more, no longer takes place in the front parlour around the pianoforte - radio, and of course television have coalboxed that. Books still exist, and we are assured (mostly by publishers) that they always will, but they seem to be increasingly pushed out to the penumbra by online, talking books and, the most recent horror, the illuminated tablet, all designed to put a generation of opticians out of business.
No, the family is dead and the church, often cast in the role of surrogate, is dead and buried.
