I found this video which made me laugh and raised the question of what will a book be in the future? I posted it on the forum to see what other students responses would be. Will people in the future even know what a book is? I tossed up whether to leave this video for the last topic or not but I think it applies to both.
The video received responses such as;
"it really does highlight the different generations"
"Are concentration spans shrinking, or are we becoming pro multi-taskers! It's a fine line."
"it does make one think about whether people will even appreciate being able to access a book or even want to in the future"
"Like many parts of our culture the seeds need planting while still young. I'm a grandpa and have the experience of planting the seeds for reading books with my own kids and now theirs"
