Imagine a bookcase

Full of books.

Take a picture of it using a film camera. Date it something like 1993.

Then.

Remove all the books, replace it with a single laptop that has an internet connection. Take the picture using a digital camera, date it 2010.


I got this thought because i came across a book entitled "Pictorial encyclopaedia of the animal kingdom."
It's a hardback that is 614 pages long and only a select few pictures, say 12 maximum are actually in colour.

All of those animals in that book i could obtain more, better and coloured images of in less than a second using google.
Books are just obsolete to me. If ever i need to search something the first place i'll go is the internet.
It's just how it is now.
