I think that electronic media has hurt the use of print media. Now you can get any book electronically and you don’t need to go to a library. More devices like the kindle fire and Ipad are taking the library away. I own a kindle myself and I don’t go to the library to get a book. I can just buy it on my kindle and read it on my kindle as if it was the real book. The first article talks about how the library is destroying book shops because people can just take books out in the library or read them there for free. The libraries cost a lot of money to keep and the book stores are losing money because of the library. I disagree because I see a lot of people that buy books everyday. There are plenty of people who are still old school and will buy a new book at a book store. The libraries are not destroying the book stores, technology is. The fact that we can purchase a book on any smartphone is what is making people not want to go to a book store to purchase a book. Now there are still plenty of people that use the book store to purchase books. But I can see in a couple years a couple book stores getting closed down. Pretty soon there will be no need to purchase a book in a store because you will be able to get it digitally.
