June 29, 2009 (What do you think is the future of books? Do you think we'll ever see a future where everything is online? What are the advantages of )

I think the future of books is very slim. I think pretty soon all books will be online and librarys will just be full of computers for people to read books on. So basically we'll only have electronic books to read. Yes, I definatly think theres a future where everything will be online. The advantagesof a book are that you can easily take it where ever you go, also you can write in them if you own them.

    A lot of people would agree with you! Especially about the part where libraries would just have a lot of computers for people to use. Some academic libraries such as Yale's Peter B. Lewis Science Library has removed all of the books from sight (they are stored in the basement) and create more of an information-commons type study space for students and faculty. Here's a couple of links:
