The End of Print?

The idea that print will be dead within my years is truly horrifying. The internet is a wonderful tool and it will always be better for scavenging tid-bits of information and snatching the major news stories, but keeping people connected is what the internet is good for, not filling the gap of printed works. Replacing newspapers, magazines, etc. with podcasts and blogs is one thing...but what about REAL literature? eBooks are good but when I think of a relaxing night, its a wrinkled faded book in my hands, not a laptop. And the truth is that most people don't even know that eBooks exist and if they do they probably don't know where to get them. Besides the aesthetic and cultural implications of this shift, the internet is dangerous. Anyone can put anything on the internet. Its up to the reader to decide whether or not he/she will believe it, and without a healthy understanding of literature and a developed and keen mind which comes from READING (expanding your imagination and vocabulary) there is not much hope for future generations.
