The discussion between e-book and book during the past several days
was very lively and educational. A lot of things mentioned in the
discussion strongly reminded me of the book that I read a long time
ago. It is _Technopoly_ written by Neil Postman. Generally speaking,
it talks on how different technologies compete and how they determine
the cultures. The moral I got from the book is that each technology
has its own limitations and even though the newer technology addresses
the limitations, it introduces its own limitations that are not found
in the older technology. If you like to, you can add it to your list
of books to read.
Food for thought.
