Nowadays, people are spending more and more time on the Internet. This is especially true for bloggers, who constantly share contents through their blog or social networks. But what if everything was suddenly lost ? How many months or years of work could disappear ? It is now possible to print your blog into a book to keep all of your contents safe and to share it with others.

Sharing is precisely what you can do with a blook*. You can share memories, moments, stories or photos with your friends and family without needing any computer, smartphone or Internet access. No need to be an Internet user anymore to read all of your articles !

As for Instagram, the import of photos is very quickly made and allows to visualize an overview free of charge so as to being able to modify him before adding it to its basket. It is obvious that it is better that an album photo where it would be necessary to select photos, possibly to make them develop, find an album with a cover which enjoys us, to sort out them, to put notes by hand by risking deletions, to stick photos (the error is then complicated to modify)… No speak to want to make several albums by hand for several people!

You can command it of course in several copies and offer it to whom you will want!

A paper book : could you change it ?

Posted on by wsb

That is what we could soon hear in the mouth of the youngest!  The generation “digital native” been born a transplanted keyboard left hand and a smartphone right hand.

If 98 % of the young people prefer to read on paper rather than on screen. The question is whether the paper will always have so many followers when this “digital natives” will reach the age to be bibliophiles?

Maybe what is more for this new generation, the expression ” to turn over a new leaf” will be transformed there “to refresh the page”, more adequate to what defines the current digital page.

Be up to date!

Turn in a loop !  The record is crossed off!  Will these expressions have only another sense tomorrow? Or will they have become unusual since the progressive disappearance of their support? Mp3 havetaken an important place in the current musical consumption. It is logically that the market of the Compact disc tends to disappear. Already met phenomenon there are more than about twenty year with the extinction of the vinyl for the benefit of Said CD.

For the book and the appearance of its malefic double.

The digital book, it is about a similar foundation. Real debate, the dematerialization of the book causes the same debates today which enamelled the passage in the digital photography and in the dematerialized music. Paper book(pound) Vs digital book there will be there only one? Which? And why not both if we take into account economic data and sociological?

The paper book, the museum piece or the collector’s edition?

In the coming years, we are going to observe a “collector’s” future of the paper book in front of development of his digital antagonist? It is also the difference!  The material. Between paper and digital support, the material entraine this clear quality gap, the paper becomes a luxury object in the face of a dematerialized support. Actually, hypothetically, it is not impossible that the digital book comes to replace the paperback.

The future of the book, the Print-On Demand?

A complete report has just been made in May by the Association of College and Research libraries on “the scenarios for the future of the book”.

Indeed; it explores 4 alternatives with which can be confronted the book. Since almost disappearance of the paper book for the benefit of the digital technology or mutually, the failure of the ebook because of a too expensive technology and which does not convince the readers, certain data are however common to all the scenarios:

  1. The technology of the printed books does not go out but occupies a position, a different function. Let us remember ourselves that even if the electricity produces the light, candles kept a status mattering in our company)
  2. The readers of books are less numerous
  3. A new phenomenon expands! Print-On Demand.

 

However, in 2020, the creation and the publication of books will be less expensive and easier. We shall not find any more only authors’ big names! A lot of people unknowns will self-publish their own paper books to share their papers with friends or to keep a track of things, facts. In these conditions the ISBN will not be any more an essential component of the book and there will be more and more titles of books of fiction, short stories, poems, theories.

The authors continues to find that the paper book is more taken seriously than his digital counterpart! And the paper books becomes the new business cards. Leave me your book, I would tell you what you are worth.

The world continues to be invaded by the paper book!  Therefore ironically it will be made possible by the digital technologies.
