HW 1

Even though I love physical books I didn’t really like this documentary too much. I think its silly to think that books, bookstores or typewriters etc. will ever disappear. People who have an interest in these things will keep them alive forever. Even though my music collection is completely digital I still buy vinyl records at music stores because its a hobby and I’m a huge music lover. Its the same for books because I’m a book lover I’ll always go out to the store to pick up the latest series of a collection or a graphic novel I’m into so I can support the art I love. While I feel for the small book store owner its not like this is a new concept time changes everything before Kindles there was Barnes and Noble etc. But I do think its great that now I can buy electronic versions of textbooks at the half price of a printed book. So to each there own but I think these girls were more culture shocked than anything else in any huge city especially NYC people are going to be running around/on the subway with the latest trending device head to a more rural area in America, Europe or anywhere else and I’m pretty sure your average book lover is still buying books at there local book store.
