I don't think books will go completely away because reading on a kindle hurt my eyes from reading on it even though I'm always on a computer and I don't like thinking a book is 1000 dollars if it falls.
1. In the future when books will be gone I think they will have made kindles that don't hurt your eyes from reading on it 2. From what I hear you use a desktop computer how would that break unless some one picked it up and threw it? 3. Again, in the future I think when books aren't around that we will have more durable technology. And nothing I own that I read books on costs over 100 dollars. No where near one thousand.
Well I don't even have $20 so I cant afford breaking a kindle and I love books (warriors) and its a lot easier to read books and turn the page than a kindle for me.
Call me old fashioned, but there are things that e-readers just can't replace. The way a new book smells when you first open it. The way you grasp the physical pages and turn them crisply. The way sometimes the ink gets printed darker on a certain page that makes you stop and wonder if the text has been this dark this whole time. I'm never trading my books in for e-readers.
*gathers all of my books to myself and hugs them possessively* NO ONE WILL TAKE MY PRETTIES FROM ME! There is just something so much more relaxing about a room with shelves upon shelves of books, then some drab little electronic. Plus, sometimes those screens give me a headache if I stare at them too long while reading. >.>
I doubt that the post office will go away. With more and more things being bought online, the post office is the one who gets it from the warehouse to your front door. They might eventually shift their focus towards parcels and become something like DHL or FedEx but they won't go away completely.
I work for the post office and we have a no lay off clause in our contracts for employees over 7 years in. And we are already evolving our focus to parcels and amazon signed a deal with usps where we deliver amazon packages on Sundays. Each confirmed scan is 2.00 to the USPS. We aren't going anywhere
+AgentAndroid I think they should put tubes all around the city like the ones at the bank. I've been waiting on that for years. It would be so much faster and better than the mailman.
+Kingpin Suited but what if the mail is to big for tubes they will have to make them bigger which would cost the goverment alot of money also making those tubes will cost alot of money also where would those tubes come from and how would the thing work how will it make it to the other side
+moekanz Well that isn't very accurate. Battery technology is great enough to work, which it has been for awhile, its more of mass producing the drones and figuring ways to prevent people from taking them or the drones damaging people's houses or hurting someone by accident.
I love paper books. I don't own an e-reader and I never will because there's something about a real book that a tablet can't give you. Books are amazing.
I don't get how some people prefer ebooks... I've never bought one, it'd be a shame to be forced to. Same goes for CDs.I love going to Books and CD stores, there's a charm to it that can't be topped. Loved seing a fellow brazilian in the wheel of mythicality bit!
Beatriz Corbetta Reis There's something nice about being able to have an entire library at your disposal at the push of a button. If I had access to those in school, I wouldn't have had to lug a 40+ pound backpack all year round. For convenience, go digital. For novelty and decoration, the real thing is much better.
Here's a happy thought. Books could cease to be made from this very moment on, and you'd still have thousands upon thousands of books left to read in your lifetime :D
Books are not going away. Fuck that. I don't want to stare at a screen for hours just reading text. Gives me a fucking headache and makes my eyes strain.
So you'd rather stare at pieces of paper for hours just reading text? That's not going to strain your eyes? Maybe increase the refresh rate of your display on your computer and your eyes won't strain so much?
It's such a pain in the butt cause sometimes the devices freeze... You see, a book can't freeze unless you drench it in water and then put it somewhere thats freezing cold, and that's not even the same type of "freeze" as electronics.... Even then, some of the pages will flip lol
Books have been around for thousands of years... And if this stuff does happen, people will become so antisocial and will never talk to people face to face. Completely detached from reality
Yes, books have been around for thousands of years, but don't forget the constant changes they've had, as well. They're now always typed instead of hand copied, they have paper-backs, and they're actually made of PAPER. Books have changed plenty from the vellum scrolls they originally were, so new revolutions in how books are distributed happens more often and with far less resistance from the public than you think.
Nah, books won't disappear. E books can't overshadow the indescribable feeling of holding a book in your hands. Their smell, the feel of paper between your fingertips. There's something satisfying about progressing through the book until you eventually finish it. Then putting it down and just looking at it for a moment. There's a tiny feeling of accomplishment, like you actually did a thing. You don't get that from e books.
Books will never disappear, and if people try to make them disappear, I WILL BECOME A CRAZY OLD MAN WHO STORES BOOKS IN MY BASEMENT AND DOES NOTHING BUT READ THEM AND TELL KIDS TO GET OFF MY LAWN when I grow up. Books are superior, because they still handle water slightly better, don't run out of power, and can't be hacked remotely (although people can still put graffiti in them and tear pages out). Plus, books have been around forever; they survived through movies and TV shows and video games; I think they can still survive through E-Readers. Poor checks; their time is limited. CD's are probably a thing of the past too, given how much more memory can be stored in a smaller space with USB flash drives. Glasses will not become obsolete because google glasses. Don't forget sunglasses and safety goggles. Key locks may be pick-able, but electronic locks are hack-able.
Will you then be my companion when I'm an old lady who goes on and on about them good ole' books, and discuss stories, plotlines and 'the tension of waiting for the next Harry Potter'? :)
Checks and CD's will never disappear. Sometimes you have to be payed by check if your work doesn't set you up by automatic deposit. And CD's will be a novelty, just like vinyl is making a comeback; they'll just be cool to have.
Books won't die. The cloud is fine, but society realizes the dangers of having everything be digital. If those systems storing information ever failed we'd be completely fucked. Government organizations will never let libraries disappear. Book stores and the average consumer reading books maybe, but not books as a whole.
Declan Ogrady no it realy died thats why bit coin can work the usa dollar is really just physical bit coin or feather coin etc usa dollar the only reason its worth something is because we say it is or the government says it does sorry i suck at spelling but im good at other things so its ok lol
Postal service will probably stay around in some form or another, since packages and legal letters are sent via post. Books will always stay around......not everything is on line, and students often need access to hard copies of documents.
Right, the postal service may shrink like it is now until they offer competitive services and adapt to market needs. They may get into the business of digital archiving or 3rd party delivery of things that aren't normally delivered by a postal service, like groceries, fast food and medicine. They will be used mainly by smaller businesses that don't have a delivery fleet of their own. And who knows, they may even have drones/robots or self driving delivery trucks that you self serve yourself with like a vending machine lol.
mianersiyok Large businesses will use them too simply because it's cheaper then send UPS or Fedex at times. It all depends. Look at Amazon. The letter sending end of the postal service might be trimmed down, however I don't think it will ever go away because of the holidays, the as before mentioned legal documentation, irs documents, anyone with an IRA or 401K receive both digital and hard copy quarterly reports, stores will receive packages and Mail pertaining to their businesses and of course junk mail needs to get from one place to another some how. Grocery delivery? Grocery stores will do that - upon purchase of the aprotriate insurance for employees and product. Fast food - same as above. They are padding their income buy selling memorabilia - which works.
I don't think that books will disapperar, the bookstores are always stuffed with people. Like...there is more people in bookstores than in the shops with clothing, at least in my country.
+Ivulka Pišútová what country? In Australia there may be one bookstore in a mall and it's never full... I don't think I've ever seen a very full bookstore in my life actually. Maybe half full at an end of year financial sale ^_^
paper books disappearing? I prefer those far more than reading it from screen. not just that there is the feeling of holding actual book. but personally my eyes dry like sahara when I try to read it from some pad. and I dont wanna see video about 'kids react to. old s* this episode, book.' and they gonna be given a real book and they gonna bash it like they bash every old thing that have been given in every episode. and CD's gonna be like vinyls next. and people gonna go to store and notice 'oh wow a real damn CD I havent seen these in ages' and their kids are like 'dad wtf is that' I think there would be problem with finger print lock. you have been fixing your flying car all day and wanna go back inside and you have some space goo on your hands and cant get the door open because the lock doesnt recognize your fingerprint because its covered in green goo. that could be a bad situation.
Few of these will completely disappear in our lifetime. Like most things, they'll slowly become less and less used as they're replaced by other things. But it's not like you won't be able to find them. Take VHS and records for example; they're not really manufactured anymore but they're still very much in existence. There isn't a necessity for them anymore, but people still want them for nostalgia's sake. Just a look through the comments on this video tells you that books aren't leaving any time soon; they're too important to too many people (myself included!).
Actually, records have been becoming more popular here in the past few years. They're still printed regularly. Modern bands often release record versions of their albums.
Books aren't going to disappear, I'm 20 and I spend most of my time in front of my computer screen and believe me I'd much rather read a paper book than reading on an e-reader or w.e
I've always loved the smell of books, like when you flip thru the pages, or are in a library. I have a kindle, but it just doesn't feel the same as a real book, and doesn't have that book smell. I know it sounds weird to say i like the smell of books, but the smell is one of the things that really get's you into the book and story, that and actually flipping the page.
There's a certain comforting sense about holding a book, it marks it's use on the pages, you can see its history on the paper and they are just nice to hold, no need to charge them either. E-readers on the other hand are cold and professional, nothing about them says sit down comfortably and lose yourself in a novel, it is utility centric. You can't get nostalgia from something that completely wipes the memory of a page as soon as you click a button
+Will Keating holodeck libraries ftw. I recon they'll go out for a bit but then come back when people can replicate a book and recycle it in the replicator to get a new book. fresh new books every day, thanks startrek! ...you can't prove it won't happen!
Chrissy Mitchell well our library imports books from a central location and lets you know when they are in. maybe it will become a government payed for direct mail system. so... no real estate.
It occurred to me the other day that, in my lifetime, I'll see the last veteran of WW2 die, I'll witness that generation dying out. I was wondering if it will be a big news story
I personally love book and I don't think that books will every be completely gone, at least not in my lifetime because I know that I won't be throwing away any of my books anytime soon
***** you add the star symbol over eight (*) to both sides of the text also, if you add a dash (-) to both sides, it crosses the words out. *Hope i* -Helped-
Books won't disappear. Not only are there too old to be completely replaced (there not just a young cultural medium for stuff like the VHS was). I own a e-Reader but I don't use it very often. You can't skim an e-Book as fast as you can do a real book, and you won't be able to find things in an e-Book as fast as in normal books (although for most of this there is google). Reading a book is a lot of feeling, and many people won't give this feeling up.
Well said. I don't use my ereader much either. Its not the same like holding a book, the book smell or "bark fart" as Link said lol, etc. I love how you said reading is a lot of feeling. That's the perfect way to explain it. :)
I doubt books will ever disappear. Every year there is releases such as Harry Potter, Hard Luck,Inferno,Proof of heaven, 50 shades of gray and so on that set new records for publishing. Also in order to get rid of books entirely we would have to destroy every library, including the library of congress which I do not think will happen. However I do think the 'Book Store' will die in our lifetime just like the 'Video Store', but services such as Amazon will replace them easily.
We don't use keys in Korea but codes. I still leave my home with this weird feeling of "I left something" cause I don't have to lock my door with one. lol
That's like my mother. Her Nissan Note has keyless entry and she always goes into her handbag to get the key! She also has a pile of cassette tapes that were used in her (very old) previous car that she has no idea what to do with. We still use home keys where I am.
See I could do a code possibly... I just couldn’t put my thumbprint or anything so important like that just on a door... there are ways people can lift a thumbprint and get easy access to it... maybe a typed code or something but no thumbprints etc
I will never get an e-reader. Also if anyone says that they're reading a book on one of those god-forsaken things, just correct them. Say, "it's a story not a book"... :'I
its inevitable do you know how many trees would be saved if they stopped making books and paper all together the future is the future move with it or stay in the past tech is advancing no matter the time and life time books are gonna go away books were once scrolls and now there just information on a cloud of data advancement is always going to come either way
Anthony Guzman First things first. You will never get that feeling of ownership with an e-reader. You won't be able to feel the pages or amerce yourself quite as well as with a book. Second I would like you to think about where the metal comes from to make e-readers. The plastic is made of oil, and the factories that make them are most likely powered by oil, gas, or coal. Finally I am quite happy sitting in the past if it means that my life isn't devoid of a vital part of my culture and heritage like books
Newer generations will lack your attachment to paper based reading, also i do not see how immersion is lost, i read both paper and machine and the distinction is lost upon me in this area.
Barney Collington I just don't think it's the same. A swipe is not the same as a turn of a page. And you won't ever be able to build up a huge bookcase. Also I know for a fact that my kids will read books. I'll bring them up with books and they'll love them. Also I don't mind what others do I just know I will never give them up
+Remy Bird virtual reality is just going mainstream this year/next year. Books will gradually go out as VR comes in, then you can have a fake book you can hold with your VR headset on and the book you're holding will become whatever book you want it to be. Right? beautiful... you'll never notice the difference lol.
+Kapuzenwurm When we get a solar flare or nuclear EMP burst in the atmosphere that fries all electronics that are not protected within a faraday cage, we will consider books with knowledge in them as if they were gold, GOLD!
AJ Yes. Inconvenience, for example, is an argument that speaks against E-books taking over. A normal book doesn't need to be powered to read. An E-book reader does, however.
I really REALLY don't want books to ever go away. Books are a part of my life. I'll miss having a library to go to where I can read some books whenever I want. With an eReader you're forced to buy the book and you can't just borrow it and it just doesn't feel the same as actually flipping the pages and holding the book. I'll die inside if libraries are ever shut down ;( Oh and I don't think the post office will ever go away. How will people send packages to each other? That's pretty important xD
Okay, I understand that letters won't be sent in the future, but what about packages with items? Or is there another department about tha? Not Ammerican, so I dunno. And also, I think that books will NEVER go away. They have lasted the testement of time (BC-AC). Of course, there will be some children that will 'preffer' e-books without ever turning a literal, existing page. People like me will never leave the way of the pages. I will never replace the tension of wondering what will be on the next page, instead of sliding down (or right) (or left). Believe me, I have tried it. I went to a shop for electronics and tried it. Couldn't wait to get home and read some pages. Books and paper pages will never go away.
I bought a Kindle and ended up downloading about 50 books...of which I have read less than 5. I don't even use my Kindle for reading anymore. I will stick to buying "real" books at BAM and Amazon:>)
not for very long some of the most brilliant scientists in the world have said that if we don't do something to change in the next twenty years it's going to be REALLY BAD and probably kill us all
Books and wallets won't dissapear for a while. Everyone is too lazy to use the electronic payment services, and a lot of people like reading actual paper.
Glasses won't disappear either. Although I switched to contacts, I know quite a few people who don't like contacts, and probably wouldn't trust surgery.
AnnaBelle Schultze Some people can't even wear contacts. My best friend was born cross-eyed and when she was a baby she had surgery to fix it leaving her with a tiny bubble on her eye. She can't wear contacts because of it so she's stuck with glasses.
NO!!!! THERE NOT HUMANS ANYMORE!!!! YOU CANT SAVE THEM!!!! JESSICA, RUN!!!! DONT DO IT!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!! I'm guessing true name was Jessica. You just died because you considered them as humans.
I still buy CDs & records, cds & records will still be around for a long time, people like collecting physical things, you can't really show off a collection of files.

Me: "You shut your mouth"
I will never ever stop buying books! They're so comforting. E-books just aren't the same.
Yes books will live
what f we die tomorrow
Hahahaha
People also remember things from physical books better than digital books. I also find the smell and feel of books so soothing
Chrissy Mitchell agreed

No way am I using some e-reader over actual books.

In the future, you will have a significant source of income from a job. More than enough to buy a kindle, or whatever thing they have in the future.
but I still don't like kindles JUST DONT ARGUE WITH ME ... please

Smart Phones, Dumb people.
Yes, books have been around for thousands of years, but don't forget the constant changes they've had, as well. They're now always typed instead of hand copied, they have paper-backs, and they're actually made of PAPER. Books have changed plenty from the vellum scrolls they originally were, so new revolutions in how books are distributed happens more often and with far less resistance from the public than you think.

Books are superior, because they still handle water slightly better, don't run out of power, and can't be hacked remotely (although people can still put graffiti in them and tear pages out). Plus, books have been around forever; they survived through movies and TV shows and video games; I think they can still survive through E-Readers.
Poor checks; their time is limited. CD's are probably a thing of the past too, given how much more memory can be stored in a smaller space with USB flash drives.

I feel the same way iAkane >:C
Same
The books one made me cry. DOWN WITH E READERS!
I WANT BOOKS
Think of the trees :(
I love books, but think about how many trees would be saved if books were no longer made.
Tangible books are the best! By the way I love your little picture. HARRY POTTER FOR LIIIIIFE!
Same
But I didn't cry, I was just sad
Yeeeaaahhh, I'm pretty sure books will never stop being produced...
You forgot one GMM!
The U.S. economy.
So true
YES FINALLY SOMEONE WITH SOME COMMON SENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Declan Ogrady actually now that come to think of it I thought the U.S.A economy already died or was some sort of myth. :)
Declan Ogrady Neither one of you are very bright.
Declan Ogrady no it realy died thats why bit coin can work the usa dollar is really just physical bit coin or feather coin etc usa dollar the only reason its worth something is because we say it is or the government says it does sorry i suck at spelling but im good at other things so its ok lol
Postal service will probably stay around in some form or another, since packages and legal letters are sent via post. Books will always stay around......not everything is on line, and students often need access to hard copies of documents.
Right, the postal service may shrink like it is now until they offer competitive services and adapt to market needs. They may get into the business of digital archiving or 3rd party delivery of things that aren't normally delivered by a postal service, like groceries, fast food and medicine. They will be used mainly by smaller businesses that don't have a delivery fleet of their own. And who knows, they may even have drones/robots or self driving delivery trucks that you self serve yourself with like a vending machine lol.
Apart from the packages and legal documents, I think you're most talking about Fax
mianersiyok Large businesses will use them too simply because it's cheaper then send UPS or Fedex at times. It all depends. Look at Amazon. The letter sending end of the postal service might be trimmed down, however I don't think it will ever go away because of the holidays, the as before mentioned legal documentation, irs documents, anyone with an IRA or 401K receive both digital and hard copy quarterly reports, stores will receive packages and Mail pertaining to their businesses and of course junk mail needs to get from one place to another some how. Grocery delivery? Grocery stores will do that - upon purchase of the aprotriate insurance for employees and product. Fast food - same as above. They are padding their income buy selling memorabilia - which works.
Also it's hard to fit Lego sets from my aunt in fiber optic wires
I think this is mostly a joke
I don't think that books will disapperar, the bookstores are always stuffed with people. Like...there is more people in bookstores than in the shops with clothing, at least in my country.
they ate pretty packed in buffalo new York to
dude I'm 15
+Ivulka Pišútová what country? In Australia there may be one bookstore in a mall and it's never full... I don't think I've ever seen a very full bookstore in my life actually. Maybe half full at an end of year financial sale ^_^
Slovakia.
Ivulka Pišútová
I've always thought of going to hungary but never Slovakia, maybe I should learn something :D
paper books disappearing? I prefer those far more than reading it from screen. not just that there is the feeling of holding actual book. but personally my eyes dry like sahara when I try to read it from some pad.
and I dont wanna see video about 'kids react to. old s* this episode, book.' and they gonna be given a real book and they gonna bash it like they bash every old thing that have been given in every episode.
and CD's gonna be like vinyls next. and people gonna go to store and notice 'oh wow a real damn CD I havent seen these in ages' and their kids are like 'dad wtf is that'
I think there would be problem with finger print lock. you have been fixing your flying car all day and wanna go back inside and you have some space goo on your hands and cant get the door open because the lock doesnt recognize your fingerprint because its covered in green goo. that could be a bad situation.
tl dr
I just prefer regular books cuz I like collecting things
Ever tried an e reader? Turn the brightness right to 0% and ii reads just like paper!
Nicholas Wu Mine doesn't even have a backlight. Awesome stuff, looks like a book, but doesn't close every time your finger slips out of it.
Wow
The soft piano playing in the background makes this video fantastic.
The post office will always be around... Online shopping is a pretty huge thing now-a-days and probably will be for a long time.
"Keys....You will open doors with Fingerprints, and retnile scans or gestures...."
"And knobs"😂😂😂😂😂
I don't think books will ever completely disappear. I still prefer them to digital books.
Me too, digital books make my eyes hurt >.
Few of these will completely disappear in our lifetime. Like most things, they'll slowly become less and less used as they're replaced by other things. But it's not like you won't be able to find them. Take VHS and records for example; they're not really manufactured anymore but they're still very much in existence. There isn't a necessity for them anymore, but people still want them for nostalgia's sake. Just a look through the comments on this video tells you that books aren't leaving any time soon; they're too important to too many people (myself included!).
Actually, records have been becoming more popular here in the past few years. They're still printed regularly. Modern bands often release record versions of their albums.
I have a ton of vhs in my room and my sister has a friend that uses vinyls
And no I'm only in middle school
I got teary at books and glasses
Same :(
These guys always make me bust out laughing. Can't get over that picture of Rhett going into his old house, looking like a deer in the headlights.
"My kids will never smell a story fart"
Again, they earned a like just for the wallet part :D
Books aren't going to disappear, I'm 20 and I spend most of my time in front of my computer screen and believe me I'd much rather read a paper book than reading on an e-reader or w.e
I've always loved the smell of books, like when you flip thru the pages, or are in a library. I have a kindle, but it just doesn't feel the same as a real book, and doesn't have that book smell. I know it sounds weird to say i like the smell of books, but the smell is one of the things that really get's you into the book and story, that and actually flipping the page.
There's a certain comforting sense about holding a book, it marks it's use on the pages, you can see its history on the paper and they are just nice to hold, no need to charge them either. E-readers on the other hand are cold and professional, nothing about them says sit down comfortably and lose yourself in a novel, it is utility centric. You can't get nostalgia from something that completely wipes the memory of a page as soon as you click a button
Books most likely won't disappear
+Will Keating holodeck libraries ftw. I recon they'll go out for a bit but then come back when people can replicate a book and recycle it in the replicator to get a new book. fresh new books every day, thanks startrek! ...you can't prove it won't happen!
Chrissy Mitchell
well our library imports books from a central location and lets you know when they are in. maybe it will become a government payed for direct mail system. so... no real estate.
+Nicolas Graf It's called replanting.
Will Keating IKR
It occurred to me the other day that, in my lifetime, I'll see the last veteran of WW2 die, I'll witness that generation dying out. I was wondering if it will be a big news story
I may live long enough to see anybody even alive at the end of the war die. Then it will just be just a history book..
Anyone else notice at the beginning he said "the 10 things that are gonna disappear in your lifetime"
but the title says 8.
Your not alone
same here
yep
those last two things disappeared before they could film it ;)
x3 Lol good one
The future is going to be the future but it sounds so sad and conformal and depressing
The television is dying too. People are switching to TH-cam.
Coopcosmis It's called "Cable Television", a T.V is the actual device you watch stuff on.
I use the TV to watch TH-cam-
I swear if books are just gone one day....I will never be as happy as I am
I personally love book and I don't think that books will every be completely gone, at least not in my lifetime because I know that I won't be throwing away any of my books anytime soon
But I don't really care if you hate books, just making a statement
viper24681 you make a nice comment, then add in another comment to make it sound rude
viper24681 same with cd's
blaze101xx no I actually said that to not sound like a jerk but I'm sorry if I did anyways
book is one of the few things that will not disapear, in the near future at least
A lot of these things won't actually go away.
We should pay tribute to Link's old hair
Also,
- Hugs Post Office -
*I WON'T LET YOU GO.*
***** you add the star symbol over eight (*) to both sides of the text
also, if you add a dash (-) to both sides, it crosses the words out.
*Hope i* -Helped-
Books won't disappear. Not only are there too old to be completely replaced (there not just a young cultural medium for stuff like the VHS was).
I own a e-Reader but I don't use it very often.
You can't skim an e-Book as fast as you can do a real book, and you won't be able to find things in an e-Book as fast as in normal books (although for most of this there is google).
Reading a book is a lot of feeling, and many people won't give this feeling up.
Well said.
I don't use my ereader much either. Its not the same like holding a book, the book smell or "bark fart" as Link said lol, etc. I love how you said reading is a lot of feeling. That's the perfect way to explain it. :)
I doubt books will ever disappear. Every year there is releases such as Harry Potter, Hard Luck,Inferno,Proof of heaven, 50 shades of gray and so on that set new records for publishing. Also in order to get rid of books entirely we would have to destroy every library, including the library of congress which I do not think will happen.
However I do think the 'Book Store' will die in our lifetime just like the 'Video Store', but services such as Amazon will replace them easily.
We don't use keys in Korea but codes. I still leave my home with this weird feeling of "I left something" cause I don't have to lock my door with one. lol
That's like my mother. Her Nissan Note has keyless entry and she always goes into her handbag to get the key! She also has a pile of cassette tapes that were used in her (very old) previous car that she has no idea what to do with. We still use home keys where I am.
+kathleenmms
are codes safer than keys??
See I could do a code possibly... I just couldn’t put my thumbprint or anything so important like that just on a door... there are ways people can lift a thumbprint and get easy access to it... maybe a typed code or something but no thumbprints etc
I NEED books! NO technical book could replace a REAL book! What about mangas?
Mangas are lame. Watch anime instead more sounds and better visuals
Uriel Kosovo Why can't we love both and be done with it? :(
Ok ok, we can have both (:
Nuuuuuuuuuuuuuu my mangas can't go away. They are my life. xd
BOOKS FOREVER
I will never get an e-reader. Also if anyone says that they're reading a book on one of those god-forsaken things, just correct them. Say, "it's a story not a book"... :'I
its inevitable do you know how many trees would be saved if they stopped making books and paper all together the future is the future move with it or stay in the past tech is advancing no matter the time and life time books are gonna go away books were once scrolls and now there just information on a cloud of data advancement is always going to come either way
Anthony Guzman First things first. You will never get that feeling of ownership with an e-reader. You won't be able to feel the pages or amerce yourself quite as well as with a book. Second I would like you to think about where the metal comes from to make e-readers. The plastic is made of oil, and the factories that make them are most likely powered by oil, gas, or coal. Finally I am quite happy sitting in the past if it means that my life isn't devoid of a vital part of my culture and heritage like books
Newer generations will lack your attachment to paper based reading, also i do not see how immersion is lost, i read both paper and machine and the distinction is lost upon me in this area.
Barney Collington I just don't think it's the same. A swipe is not the same as a turn of a page. And you won't ever be able to build up a huge bookcase. Also I know for a fact that my kids will read books. I'll bring them up with books and they'll love them. Also I don't mind what others do I just know I will never give them up
I admit, upon consideration it robs something indescribable to read a bedtime story to a child using a kindle as opposed to a book.
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT MY BOOKS NEVER MY BOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wait save them
+Remy Bird virtual reality is just going mainstream this year/next year. Books will gradually go out as VR comes in, then you can have a fake book you can hold with your VR headset on and the book you're holding will become whatever book you want it to be. Right? beautiful... you'll never notice the difference lol.
Remy Bird SAME
I will never stop using books, no matter how archaic it becomes.
Amen, nothing like the smell and feel of turning the page on a brand new book, gettin nice and comfy and starting a whole new adventure over and over
It'll be weird having to go to the antique store to get a copy of Gulliver's Travels.
You will because you wont have a choice when the book manufacturers cost goes above profit.
Crystal3lf For new books yes. I rarely read modern texts anyways.
I'll miss libraries cause I live a lot of the books I can't get on my ipad
books will live forever in my house!
+bug k books are sooo lame.
too bad we're having a library :)
lmao thanks! in your face, Matt :)
The smell of old books actually smell good and refreshing
*Stares at my CD and Book collections*
I don't think Wallets will be going anywhere.
Everyone is crying about their books but not about his privacy, which is basically more important.
NO. F.U.
+Kapuzenwurm no its not you can learn with books not privacy
+Kapuzenwurm When we get a solar flare or nuclear EMP burst in the atmosphere that fries all electronics that are not protected within a faraday cage, we will consider books with knowledge in them as if they were gold, GOLD!
+Defensive Wounds can you teach me how to make a tin foul hat?
IS more important
I don't think that all of these are gonna disappear. Escalators also didn't eradicate stairs, did they?
That would be pretty expensive and inconvenient.
AJ Yes. Inconvenience, for example, is an argument that speaks against E-books taking over. A normal book doesn't need to be powered to read. An E-book reader does, however.
Well escalators cost a lot to build, they take you places slower, and encourage obesity, I don't think any of the ones they talked about will do that!
I think this was my favorite wheel enactment XD "Do you want it piece-y in the front?"
I love the tongue-in-cheek kind of humor you guys have got going on here.
No one really sends card anymore, but I get a lot of packages so I need the post office.
I really REALLY don't want books to ever go away. Books are a part of my life. I'll miss having a library to go to where I can read some books whenever I want. With an eReader you're forced to buy the book and you can't just borrow it and it just doesn't feel the same as actually flipping the pages and holding the book. I'll die inside if libraries are ever shut down ;( Oh and I don't think the post office will ever go away. How will people send packages to each other? That's pretty important xD
"My kids will never smell a story fart." )',:
Okay, I understand that letters won't be sent in the future, but what about packages with items? Or is there another department about tha? Not Ammerican, so I dunno. And also, I think that books will NEVER go away. They have lasted the testement of time (BC-AC). Of course, there will be some children that will 'preffer' e-books without ever turning a literal, existing page. People like me will never leave the way of the pages. I will never replace the tension of wondering what will be on the next page, instead of sliding down (or right) (or left). Believe me, I have tried it. I went to a shop for electronics and tried it. Couldn't wait to get home and read some pages. Books and paper pages will never go away.
you are right unless 3d printers can act like faxing machines
FedEx..
thats lame XD
I bought a Kindle and ended up downloading about 50 books...of which I have read less than 5. I don't even use my Kindle for reading anymore. I will stick to buying "real" books at BAM and Amazon:>)
Those places ups and FedEx have their own establishments now
Books are not going to disappear, libraries might, but definitely not books
i think we should start thinking about cutting down on using paper so we wouldn't have to cut down as many trees
Luke Croslyn Books do not. Wast. Paper.
So you are saying that you would rather get more books than not cutting down more trees to help kill the planet. Okay see you in hell
Luke Croslyn do you see people dying in the streets because there isn't enough air? There are a lot of trees.
not for very long some of the most brilliant scientists in the world have said that if we don't do something to change in the next twenty years it's going to be REALLY BAD and probably kill us all
i honestly dont think books will go away. while so many e books are made and sold i know of sooooo many people who hate e books (including me)
Given that e-readers are a product of only the last few years, I say it'll be a slow process, but eventually may happen.
yeah i do think books are going to go away, but not in my liftime
And any way, who doesn't love their smell
I have a tower of CD's.
7:43 AND U CAN GO TO NETFLIX.CLOM TOO
Books wont be gotten rid of, there will always be need for phsyical things.
Books and wallets won't dissapear for a while. Everyone is too lazy to use the electronic payment services, and a lot of people like reading actual paper.
Hopefully I won't be around for the end of books!
My glasses, books, and privacy will NEVER DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a little scary how good Rhett and Link are at being southern ladies at a hair salon...
Glasses won't disappear either. Although I switched to contacts, I know quite a few people who don't like contacts, and probably wouldn't trust surgery.
And then there's hipsters. Hipsters aren't leaving anytime soon ;-;
Yea I can't even stand putting a needle in my finger to get a splinter out, much less than a laser drilling a hole in my eyes
AnnaBelle Schultze Why would you be so cruel as to say that?
AnnaBelle Schultze Some people can't even wear contacts. My best friend was born cross-eyed and when she was a baby she had surgery to fix it leaving her with a tiny bubble on her eye. She can't wear contacts because of it so she's stuck with glasses.
AnnaBelle Schultze yup, I'm one of those. I trust the surgery, but the idea of under going one freaks me out
My dad was eavesdropping when I watched this and got all teary-eyed - what
LOL
I'm 28, and I seriously doubt that the post office, wallets, or books will disappear in my lifetime.
I hardly ever use my wallet in China. Most everything is/can be digital.
Books survived the computer age, they aren't going away, think of all the books that aren't available for e-readers and will never be.
Good Mythical Future :D
I think books will still be around for a few more centuries at least
Books ? Hell no I rather read a physical book than letters in a screen
link gave rhett a hardcore cafune on this episode
Books and keys. OH HELL NO
I'm sitting here, with a Hot-pocket and a Dr.Pepper.
Really tasty, and I get to watch Good Mythical Morning, at 10:00 P.M.
Good Morning!
phht try 3 am
This is all so oddly poetic. Simultaneously sad, yet calming.
You missed one. Humans. The zombies are coming.
XD
Noooooo, zombies are my biggest fear! Thanks for that anxiety spike! XD
Ummm..........Zombies are humans just in a different form of life.
TheHamtaroGamer maybe he meant zombie lions or something
NO!!!! THERE NOT HUMANS ANYMORE!!!! YOU CANT SAVE THEM!!!! JESSICA, RUN!!!! DONT DO IT!!!! NO!!!!!!!!!!! I'm guessing true name was Jessica. You just died because you considered them as humans.
Paper books are life, down with e readers
At the beginning of the video he said 10, but the title says 8.
Isnt it on Good Mythical More?
I still buy CDs & records, cds & records will still be around for a long time, people like collecting physical things, you can't really show off a collection of files.
That's all they'll be, collectibles, eventually they'll stop making them because it's not worth the production costs
Not as long as an 80 cent piece of plastic sells for $30.
milksheihk They won't be when no one buy them but you
A lot more people than just me buy them, Why do you think so many vinyl records started being made again after being out of production for 20 years?
+milksheihk a collection of files isn't quite as impressive.
