The Future Book

she posted her opinion about future book - "Future of the Books".
It was very interesting to me,
and here is my opinion about the Future Book:

Books, as the transmitters of happiness, sorrow,
emotion and knowledge,take an important part in our society.
Nowadays, even without books, it is difficult to develop the world,
so we must go on preserving and protectingthem permanently.
For that reason, I think various technological books will appear
in the future.

In comparison with past books,
present books are developed a lot from every aspect
- diversity of kinds, qualities and etc.
However, the problem is that all books are made of papers.
Usually, papers can easily get torn,
burnt and the amount of paper is limited,
so it is difficult to preserve and make more papered books.
Also books with great amount contents
and imformation are uncomfortable to carry.
Therefore, as our society is becoming more technological and digital,
books will be made of something different from paper,
that we can preserve books eternally,
save the trees from being disappeared,
and as society is becoming more ubiquitous,
books will be smaller and lighter that we can carry
and read easily wherever and anytime.
For example, there will be such as microchip-books,
which we can insert into special glasses
or really thin and flexible monitor,
and then the three-dimensonal reflection appears on the air
from glasses or monitor.
So we can read texts, see pictures, some movements
in the air and hear their sounds, too.
It means that the microchip-books let us not only to read,
see and hear, but also feel them and give more realistic emotions.
Moreover, the books can leave the pages - the flat ground and can fly,
and live in microchip-books.

In conclusion, as I mentioned above,
maybe books in the future will become more isualizational.
Since the purposes of books are to let readers know or learn
and understand about something new through reading books,
the visual elements will help them to learn and
to understand more easily and quickly.
The world is changing day by day,
and many unique ideas are coming out more and more,
accordingly, in the very future, there could be another various books
even we could not predict, and I am really expecting of them!!!
