If books become old and replaced by e-books and those devices to read them on (Kindle)?
What am I going to do for birthdays and Christmas?! I always buy books for people... They make great presents.
Answers:
I've just have reason to measure: My house contains just over 100ft of full bookshelves. (measuring conservatively, and not counting bedside table, window-ledges etc.)
Books arent going obsolete until I do.
(might not take that long... I'm getting old)
Old, second-hand, books manufacture a different present from the latest best seller.
The odder, but oddly appropriate, the better.
I might suppose that e-books will replace the paper books, as cd replaced vinyl documentation.
The records still exist but are the fact of passionate ethnic group.
I suppose that only studients and teachers will buy some printed papers and they'll be obliged of.
Anyway, the key difference is the paper contact.
Reading a book looking at a screen is a bit poor... Sensations are quite set. Paper still implies a digital sensation.
Friendly.
Books will never become extinct (didn't you see Dr Who?) populace love the feel of them - I also love the smell of an old book.
When the net fail all over the planet, people will dust off the antiquated encyclopedia volumes, will read and write letters, and will travel, and visit more. What goes up, must come down! God still uses books, and I don`t know your name is in one of them? The devil runs the computer systems, as the power and the prince of the 'air'
i dont think books will ever be impacted by ebooks and online stuff. in attendance is nothing better than a 'real' book or newspaper or magazine for that matter!
purely buy them an e-book instead.
it will save them cluttering their houses with books that they have read and sustain to save the rain forests.
This has already happened, and more than once.
Papyrus rolls made inscriptions on stone non-operational.
Parchment took over from papyrus, and the codex (folded book with leaves) from the roll.
Paper from pulped cloth/wood took over from parchment.
Printing took over from handwriting.
Computerised methods took over from moveable type.
What next? Whatever it is, we'll get used to it and cram to love it. The message is the thing, not the medium.
The just reason books wont be sold is because we run out of ways of making paper. Don't see that happening surrounded by your (our) life time.
