How is print media losing ground to electronic media in both content and delivery systems?

Well, for obvious reasons, everything that involves paper will be extinct soon. Words will soon be typed and read on screens only. The feel of a book will be gone and tablets, kindles and IPad’s will be the source of reading. I personally like the feel of a book, but I do agree with Alison Flood’s article. Authors are artist, and artist need to make a living too. Libraries aren’t used as much as they use to, and reading books online/ on devices gives a sense of convenience and authors the money they work for. “Books aren’t public property” it takes time and money to make the books that everyone expects to read for free. And not even that, why invest so much money on something that people will soon stop going to? Why invest in a place that will be empty, and meant for just holding books? What purpose will it have then?

Print media is also losing it’s ground to electronic media in a content way, typing papers online gives writers freedom to break through the basic structures of a “how to write” context. George P. Landow states it’ll change our culture, weather it’s with literature, education, and criticism.
