digital or paper?

I believe everything soon will be digital. The internet has come so far in the past 10 or so years. Whenever you look around these days almost everyone has a smart phone or now a tablet in their hands, almost nobody caries around a newspaper or a hard copy of a book anymore.

I'm not sure if I believe this is a good thing or a bad thing yet because we will always need print in case of a technical failure. Digital is taking more dominancy than print is now and the eBooks are cheaper for the most part. If nobody buys a print copy, then who's to say they wont stop making them or will they just go up in price?

Yes, digital copies are more convenient than print because on one tablet you can carry more books than you can in your book bag. I love the feel of a big hard back book in my hand knowing I can fold over the page to save my place. I love having the hard back text book to make notes in and highlight for easier studying later. Now, you can do all of that on the tablet or phone, but I don't believe I would get the same satisfaction that I do holding a book. Plus knowing I have to charge the tablet just to read or study the book on it is a let down. At least with a print copy you could always read, by flashlight, when the electricity is off.
