I'm actually going to be really lazy and copy & paste my thoughts from John's Blog
Those who write will always write. The medium will change with the times. The stories will always evolve to suit the needs of writers to tell their tale. The times may change but a writers passion will always prove to adapt to the moment and continue on.
Word. It's already evolved so much. We can't expect it to stop evolving, to stand still when everything around it is moving. The stories will adapt. It's not the stories that have issues with it, it's the people.
I definitely agree - there are always going to be stories. It's just becoming more and more obvious that the stories may not necessarily be read in books. It has to be difficult for the publishing industry to compete with technologies that move so swiftly.
You have me thinking, though - I may be talking about this whole thing from a library point of view next week. If I can think of anything intelligent to say on it. :D
There are people who are doing it successfully. Publishing is just a lumbering beast. It's going to take a while to slow it down and get it to really pay attention.
And that would be interesting from a library point of view! What will libraries do with all of the different mediums that are coming out?
You're absolutely right... stories will always be around. This is very informative and well said =)
