If NOBODY is reading books now, WHY are books still being published?

And WHY can books still, for the time being, being read electronically...or whatever using a Kindle version is called?

So then first editions are now "worthless", are they? REALLY?

If you hand wash sterling or plate, right after using them, you don't need to polish them! And some people still have others to do that kind of job. Other pieces, that aren't often used, do need to be polished. That's true, unless they are stored in tarnish prevention cloth.

Lots of younger people no longer cook or even know how to. So maybe that will soon become a lost art and bugs will replace meat anyway. LOL

Okay, so in the future, nobody will be able to write in script now print, nobody will read any books at all, they'll be told what to do, what to think, by their "betters", and be nothing but serfs because they don't know any better, because the past has been forgotten?

That's where this is all headed; or so it seems to me, from what this article and some things that have been posted to this thread would lead me to believe.

There you go taking it to absurdism thinking that makes you right. Of course I know SOME people read. I told you _I_ read.

But that doesn’t change the reality that the percentage of our population that reads keeps on dropping. And at this in most small gatherings of Americans none of them have read a book in the last year. Sad but true.

Still way more work then stainless utensils.

Actually loss of cooking very much could happen. There are lots places in the world where apartments don’t hsve kitchens. It’s happened before. Most Romans (living in Rome Romans) couldn’t cook, it was all about street vendors.

The past is always being forgotten. Welcome to reality.
