The class discussion and talking about the reading yesterday made me think about why people read books. No matter how many attempts the eBook industry makes to create a similar experiences to books (i.e. notes, page flipping, etc.) it will simply never be the same. This is why I believe there has been a slow progression in the use of ebooks as The Late Age of Print described. Now people are starting to realize it is a different experience and are accepting it for what it is, which is why they are becoming popular.
As people become more environmentally aware, e-books are also becoming popular because of the impact (or lack of) on the environment. If everyone had an e-book instead of normal books, there would be a lot of CO2 in the atmosphere today.
While people tend to be resistant to technological changes in the beginning, if the technology persists long enough and a enough people start using it, everyone else seems to jump on the bandwagon and adapt.
I, also, feel like people will begin to slowly join the technology movement. As people begin to see how technology truly benefits us, I think they will begin to be more open to it.
