I spotted this abandoned dictionary on a bench in a bus shelter. Has technology made books obsolete?

...I'm afraid so.
ReplyDeleteIt feels like it, Andy.
ReplyDeleteI hope not. I just pulled out a printed dictionary a few days ago to look something up. But then, I'm "old school" with a few things.
ReplyDeleteI just bought three books today at a charity shop. 3 for €1, can't beat the price.
ReplyDeleteI hate to see books in this condition, but I think printed books will always have a place in society.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Nikki.
ReplyDeleteWhile I love books (I'm an old geezer), books printed on paper will become collected as antiques. Unfortunately the digital replacements will be shorter and have less information. It is another trend in dumbing down our civilization.
ReplyDeleteIn a time when we make up stuff---- i.e. He gifted me a book. He pled guilty. Oh well. If everyone were like me, we'd be speaking Latin--- or Caveman.
ReplyDeleteThey can do without electricity.
ReplyDeleteI think paper books will ever survive! What is nicer for an author to hold your book with a nice cover in your hands!
ReplyDeleteI have hundreds of unread novels on my smartphone, been a few years since I last bought a "real" book.
ReplyDeleteWell considering the state of some peoples spelling these days, maybe this would be a good gift.
