In an article in today's paper, there one a prediction by some "authority" that said within a decade, print copies of books will have almost ceased. I believe there was some references to books being musty. To which I uttered a "hurrump" and moved on to the comics.
I remember when Amazon.com and large bookstore chains appeared and other predictions predicted other demises of the world of books as we knew it. Hurrump.
Of course, technology is a rapidly moving target that is changing our access to information and the need to print everything on paper. This blog would not exist if it weren't for such technology. It behooves writers to get with it.
But the demise of our beloved books? Hardly. There is something about going back to an old friend, whose worn pages carry memories of earlier times in our lives. And there is nothing like opening a new book for the first time. My computer, beloved as it is is, will never carry the smell unique to books!
