Will Libraries and Books Survive another 20yrs?

With the rise of digital media and the new changes with our modern society I severely doubt that libraries, books, and print will survive another 20 years. With options such as Google Books, Apple Library, Kindle, and downloadable files that all us to access full books online there is no way that print can continue to stand. On college campuses, and within few neighborhoods perhaps there may be some libraries still standing but, I can see many of them being closed by government because of the new move of society. People don’t go to the library as much as they use to anymore because they can read all the books that they like, even sample books from the comfort of their own homes. “Much of the novel’s alleged power is embedded in the line, that compulsory author-directed movement from beginning of a sentence to it’s period”, there will always be those who do enjoy print over digital but I am convinced that digital will eventually takeover. People who read the newspapers can easily access news articles with the download of a news app and don’t have to pay for it either. For example people such as myself who have iPhone devices can choose our favorite news sites and when new events happen or when their is breaking news we don’t even have to turn on our TV because the alerts will come up directly to our cell phone deices which is a million times easier than waiting to see the developments on the 10PM news or waiting for the newspaper the next morning. People aren’t buying newspaper articles instead they are buying online news subscriptions. In Flood’s article it talks about Terry Deary’s comments on how libraries are irrelevant, ” Libraries have been around too long and are no longer relevant”.
