steven bell writes \”Forbes has a good, if brief, interview with John Seely Brown, co-author of The Social Life of Information. Brown was asked his opinion on whether print books will be replaced with electronic ones. Here is part of what Brown had to say.
\”A book lets you skim through it, rapidly thumbing through the contents. The design of the book, the heft, the paper, tell you a lot. Right now we have no idea of what the affordances are with e-books. Eventually we\’ll find them.\”
Read the interview \”
If you\’ve never read The Social Life of Information stop what you doing now and go read it.
