Avrom and Bubbe response to Douglas Rushkoff

There will always be reasons to resist and those reasons are important. Look at Las Vegas, just an empty shell of it's former self. That is a demonstration of when one does not appreciate the historical significance of not fixing up a building but blowing it up completely. For many they will miss the feel of a text book and yet others see the opportunity of having everything on one digital device to be good enough. In the case of those that celebrate sabbath where you can not use electricity for a period of sundown to three stars coming out in the sky it will be brutal without having books that one can dig into. For this cultural reason alone certain books will still be published though I could see the bookseller creating a way that you can print the book you want on demand. Just pick the book put in the slate and the book gets printed and created before your very eyes. Then again reading can be slowly decreasing as evident by the cliff notes available for easy consumption online.
