Stine was born in Columbus, Ohio on October 8, 1943 to Jewish parents (wiki/R._L._Stine). His mother Anne Stine, was a homemaker, and his father Lewis Stine, was a shipping clerk. As a child he was always very interested in books containing cheeky humor, and creepy, eerie stories.

It was when he turned the age of nine that he began his own writing career.
This is not the case when comparing them to the previous generation. This is what Clive Thompson’s essay argues about, but instead of directly targeting young people, he blames parents, the society, and social networks. Indeed, when compared to the previous generations, parents and society were stricter. With the arrival of social networks, teens tend to spend more time on it rather than face to face. Because of the impact of the society and parents plus the evolution of new technologies, young people are less and less able to communicate face to face.
If technology continues to develop at this rate, people will slowly begin to depend on it just as much as Mildred did. People nowadays forget about the conventional things in life and allow themselves to be consumed by a world of technology.

Mewada 510-034 Slanket: Responding to Snuggie’s Market Entry Blankets with Sleeves: The Slanket The impulse to put sleeves on a blanket may have occurred to people in cold climates before,2 but when Gary Clegg was a student at the University of Maine in 1997 he took action. Watching television in his dorm room, curled up on a couch in his sleeping bag, he found it difficult to change the channel.

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, was said to have been written about how technology like television and other media were making people less interested in ideas. Bradbury was thinking of the future and how it could be affected by over use of electronics.
