• Free to mess around at school... Brings loss of freedom to choose what you want to do when you've left school.

• Free to watch films... But this reduces the freedom you give your imagination to operate as it does when you read books.

• Free to use smart phones, and they bring a lot of freedom... But take away your freedom to relate face to face.
