The Future of the Book?

You must see this video from France on the future of the book. It shows some pretty interesting ideas of what that future might be.

I'm not sure I agree with the idea that traditional books will become simply objets d'art.

They say there's nothing new under the sun. Compare the French book video to one done by Apple Computer in 1987 (22 years earlier) on the future of the computer. See any similarities?

Comment by Pamela Paterson on July 31, 2009 at 12:18pm: It's a pretty impressive video, and I can definitely see it happening more and more. Much better for non-fiction use (research, study) than leisure reading. I would miss the "book" experience--tactile, page-turning, marking up, and so on.
