SMALLER BRAINS. BIGGER BUMS?
Slowly yet steadily our railway station book shops and newspaper stands are being replaced with junk food shops. While books seemed to have stopped moving a long time back from the local train platforms, newspapers and magazine were the bread and butter. And now smart phones are completely killing the reading from a book habit.
One can argue that people are probably reading more than ever on their flickering screens and why read when the same story can be said using other ways with new technology. Technology that are training us to become visual story tellers and in the vertical format. Maybe audio, doodles, animations, making and editing visual stories is the way forward.
While people like me show concern for printed books, we are also the people who are also making digital books (Footpath Bookshop makes digital photobooks), make videos, listen to podcasts and make them, etc. We do it to make it easy got people to get what we create.
