Chapter 7 - Is Tech Killing the Written Word?

9/17/2013

0 Comments

 
Some say the publishing industry is in decline across the board and although things like the Kindle are bridging the gap, is there still the same love for the written word, or is it being diluted by the modern obsession with tech and gadgets?

I believe there will always be readers as long as there are stories to be told.  Reading provides an escape, allowing people to do things and experience facets of life that are unattainable and unfathomable.  This is never going to go away.  How we communicate those stories might change and that’s okay.  People watch stories, listen to stories, and read stories printed on trees and tablets and phones.  Is the publishing industry going to continue to change?  Of course.  Am I going to have to stop sharing my stories?  Never.
