"Yeah, it’ll be “books?” the same way it is now “78 rpm?” or “dial telephone?”

Or "cursive writing?" One thing I learned doing historical research in this country, is that if you don't know how to read and write cursive, you won't be able to read any of the documents that were created before the typewriter was invented. And I'm sure kids today even say "typewriters?"

I had to explain typewriters to someone in their 20s sometime during this calendar year. :^)
