I wonder if a few hundred years from now, archeologists will look at this point in time as another dark age. We've been digitizing so much of our information. What will happen when the servers go down and storage media degrades making them unreadable? What if our descendants simply lose the capability to read these electronic media?
50 years from now, try opening that eBook again. You'll have to convert it to a newer format, somehow, to be compatible with iOS v72.5, or re-purchase it (IF it's still available)...
K. .Man I'm not sure the common book purchaser/collector will stay on top of converting all their downloaded books. But it's nice to walk into your personal library and pick up a book you enjoyed more than a decade ago.
Lol!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂📚📚📚📚

ReplyDeleteDrop it on the floor, that's why I still have books...plus, tablets don't have the gentle fragrance of Italian leather journals...:)
ReplyDeleteTo be fair reading online isn't the same as reading with an actual copy

ReplyDeletebooks don't break as easily, and are easier to fix.
