Have we reached the end of the book?
Article Abstract:
Some observers have claimed that new technology will eventually kill off the book. It is clear that the actual act of reading as it has traditionally been understood is in decline, even though the number of books being published remains relatively high. There is a trend towards producing reading material in short, prefabricated chunks which people find easy to assimilate. To some people, this shows that information is gradually replacing true understanding of literature.
