Books will never be obsolete, maybe they will become less popular but they will always be around. I argue this with great intension. I can understand why people believe this since new technology makes it possible to have hundreds of books at one time in one place but I still do not think that books will disappear, at least not for a few hundred years or something. I can not imagine being a child and having my Mom or Dad read a book to me on the iPad, it just does not have that nice feeling to it. I understand having electric textbooks, students would not have to carry them around but what happens if you want to highlight something and be able to flip back to a page easily, you would be difficult to do that with a Kindle or iPad. The cost of some books is expensive and I am not saying how nice it would be to get a book for half the price of a hard case novel, but I simply do not like that reading is becoming more technological. I like the idea of a book being a book and a machine being a machine. Imagine reading a book outside on the beach, it may get a little wet but they pages will dry but what happens when your Kindle gets wet? It dies and is gone. I do not agree with the technology I do think it is pretty cool but I just do not know how the world could live without books.
