21st Century Emerson

This blog is in response to Ralph Waldo Emersons "The American Scholar" and how he would react to it in the 21st century.  I believe he would stay behind his belief in the importance of books and nature.  These are pretty fundamental beliefs that no matter what era I believe Emerson would stand behind them.  However, with that being said i think he would put and great influence on technology these days because that is what our whole world seems to be based around.  In todays world we need to be tech-savy and  a good reader and i believe Emerson would agree with that.
