The End of Books?

paulcrik November 10, 2009 109

Ever think about how the time people spend online is time spent reading, but not reading books? Ever ponder the dwindling profits of book publishers? The general diminishing of the american attention span – tuned now for status updates but not novels. I’ve always been a book lover, but I’m also prepared to see human beings tell stories and information through other means that eventually leave books behind. Is there not a scenario in which the purpose of books would be entirely encompassed by some other format(s)? 2 or 3 generations down the road, do you think there will still be a lot of “book lovers”? Big change is nothing to lament, just another opportunity to kill it and move ahead!

    Hey there, I think your site might be having browser compatibility issues. When I look at your blog in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, fantastic blog!

    I do believe all the concepts you have offered to your post. They’re really convincing and can certainly work. Still, the posts are very brief for newbies. May you please lengthen them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.

    Loved the video! This blog is very informative too. I love blogging when it is for or about something I believe in. I also read news blogs often and find that it makes me feel more intelligent every time I read them. I also feel like I am a pretty good person who tries to treat others with respect, no matter what their opinion is. There are some real haters out there. Thanks again. I learned a few things about this. I will definitely put your site on my speed dial.
