Ohh yes and in 2100 we will have flying cars to replace our current ones.
The book is not dead, it never was, nor was it brushed to a side. The book has a niche on information. On a website you are able to find good articles on many things, but what characterises these articles is that due to their space they lack the depth and width that a book is able to provide.
I don;t know what kindle is like, but if it is to compared to e-books that you are able to read online I much prefer a hard copy which I may take to the park or lay in bed with. Its flexibility is its attraction for me and perhaps its niche.
And finally transform the solitary act of reading into something far more social I don't see how reading can ever be social unless you consider a bunch of guys sitting down and reading each on its own be a social activity, or of course unless someone is reading it aloud to the others.
Nice article though, but I did skip most of it :P
