Horrifying, isn't it?

Nov 27, 2007 11:25

Justine and I have discovered something awful. The Book, the world's last bastion against technology, is being turned into a palm-pilot-like-device. I saw it myself at Borders. Sony (and I think a few other companies) has come up with this awkward looking hand-held thing with a screen. You load the 'book' cartridge in the back like a video game. ( Read more... )

books, technology, justine, idiots, anger

I'm sorry, but I tried to read your post and the text was just too small. Why do all of you Jews write so small? Is that how they do it in Hebrew? I tried to print it, but the text got even smaller. Do you know about any devices that allow me to make the text on my screen bigger? Please help me.

Try this one on for size:
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA LMFAO ROTFL STFU!
To answer your question, Jews write this small to save money on paper and ink. And yes, I know of a device. It's called, "HOLD THE PAGE CLOSER TO YOUR FACE OR GET A FREAKING PAIR OF GLASSES!"
I didn't think anyone could make me laugh over the situation, but--aha, success, my ample-bosomed friend.

The ad on your comment page is for reading glasses. Ironic much?

I'm glad I could help.

DUDE. i totally agree. when i first perused justine's facebook status as something about hating the electronic book i was a bit confucius.

but then i looked at YOUR explanation and all was enlightened. i agree because to collect a book is to collect a MEMORY of time well spent. the cover has meaning, and for me certain splotches of food on certain pages provide a nice cozy glance into exactly what you're talking about: the comfort of a book in your hand, words physically available without the impinging force of technology. a comfort that hits the spot like no other.

because if even books are destroyed and plasticified, what have we, readers?! WHAT HAVE WE?!?!?

i will tell you what we have we then have apocalypse.
that is all.

and yeah....the golden compass caught my eye too....i'm not scared to admit.
and OH OH OH: i've never read the lord of the rings, yeah? but i am now and YOOOOW it's like c.s. lewis a thousand times magnified.
