The Demise of the Paperback- Technology and Its Side Effects

As someone who surrounds themselves with books, the topic of ebooks and the demise of the paperback seemed to be a poignant topic. Technology plays such a pivotal role in today's society and economy. Great technological advances such as encoding hard copies of books and transcripts on the computer have become part of the norm.

The digital age is here and it is important for everyone to be able to adapt to the changes that are being made. Google is one of the main companies that is helping consumers adapt to the 21st century. They are putting rare copies of books and various texts online for the public to read for free. Amazon is also making headway by providing digital books on the Kindle. News sources like CNN and New York Times also provide many current articles on the subject of technology and digital books.
