Books?

Whenever I think of media it is always the more popular forms like the net, and TV, it's weird how things become outdated. I know some people that don't even read anymore, that's a shame but it's their choice. I however like my books. I am not a collector but I do keep some of the books I read. I was recently thinking about what would happen if we didn't have books. Would they be in a digital form of a book, or solely on the computer screen? I don't know, and I hope not b/c staring at the screen for hours like you take the time to read a book would cause me a lot of headaches! What about reading in the tub, that's a classic past time, or just carrying a book around? Replace that with a laptop and that would be a pain. Of course there has already been a revolution in books, where there are digital novels and books in palm pilots but I hope that the world doesn't think it's time to move on. Personally I am a romantic and there is just something about cozying up with a book, and enjoying every turn of a page, with that anticipation of what will be on the next page. Somehow I don't think I would feel the same if I was scrolling on a computer screen...
