The younger generation will never, ever have to give beloved books away or take them to the reseller because there just isn't room for another book case in the house.

Books are like gasses, they expand to fill the available space.

The younger generation can take off on a motorcycle with every book they own along to choose from.

Every book they collect, they can increase the font size and read without special glasses when they get to be in their 50s.

From my point of view, they get the better end of the deal.

I disagree. To spend time browsing through a used bookstore or to thin out your own library is pleasure. There is nothing like holding and reading a printed book. Technology will never be able to replace that joy.

I once saw an episode of Star Trek Next Generation where Captain Picard enjoyed reading a printed book while drinking a cup of tea. I repeat: Technology will never be able to replace that joy.

sure they get the better deal-let them build those tiny little houses that are being touted the latest housing fad - with no bookshelves-they don’t need them,do they? let them have a kid & then things will change unless the USA is moving towards a population of no families .....just single people living in little boxes....crikey!!
