From NPR:
People have been talking about “the death of the book” for more than a decade. But recent events suggest the end may be imminent for bound-paper books as we have known them for more than 500 years. Hardbound and paperback books may never totally disappear, but they could become scary scarce — like eight-track tapes, typewriters and wooden tennis rackets.
The more librarians defend the book…
…the more librarians will suffer the same fate as the book. It may not mean sh!t to librarians retiring in 10 years, but think about your younger colleagues when you advocate for allocating valuable staff time and resources to the dying medium. Thank you for your consideration.
Younger colleagues

Younger colleagues can kiss my ass. You jumped on this bandwagon to hell. Enjoy the ride.
