How about a lesson for the Neice that print newspapers may be 20th century, but journalism remains an import part of a free and open society.
Teaching her the difference between real journalism and the crap that passes for reporting these days would be a valuable lesson.

It was certainly easier to distinguish between well-researched and well-considered articles when things were only in print. One of the main activities of librarians now is to educate students on the reliability of the information they access.

Okay, now what would be a good response to that...
Hmmm...
How about:
"Uncle Scooter, that's so 20th century."
"Yeah, I know...so is giving presents to younger relatives; I should probably stop doing all these old fashioned things..."
