Reinventing the book

This too is for academics, general readers too. Books, as we know them, is changing completely! Possibilities are immense. This article looks at some of them as is happening and as is evident from the BookExpo end May!
For one thing, the possibilities of combining multi-media has not really been applied completely. I feel very excited in thinking about just how it can be used for making the learning of concepts so easy. Education is, after all, about getting these concepts! Rest of your life, one applies them and possibly makes this place a little more livable! As people get more used to reading from screens, the book is bound to shift to the screen. There are no two ways about it. I would think, that would happen by the time the young generation, early and late twenties, take over. These people are so used to reading screens that reading learning material from screens would be very natural for them. What form the content will take is anybody's guess. This article discusses a few, things that are visible already. Time to think how best to use the new technologies and how to use them for learning!
