Print is Dying?
With the internet becoming the dominant form of media, print is rapidly becoming less popular. Although many people adapted quickly to using the internet for everything, many of us still cling to old forms of printed media. As soon as something new is invented it usually replaces an older and less effective or out of date version. These older versions can then become more popular because of people becoming nostalgic for the past. I believe that this is one of the reasons why books are still around. In retrospect reading books from the internet is in my opinion easier, faster, and saves a lot of trees. Instead of storing all the books you have collected on say a bookshelf, you can store hundreds of books on your computer without taking up a ton of space. Even though reading books on the computer is more practical, books are still around because of the experience or memory that a person has with books, and now that books are more rare they have become even more precious to the owner.
