I'm curious what people take away from this video.



Minor spoiler alert from the comments section that does need to be included in here for some context ▼
S🤦‍♂️ Author Icon - I am inclined to say that books will never go away. Publishing could die and be replaced by print on demand. Ebook sales would be the center: you wouldn't buy a book you'd buy an ebook and if you liked it, download it to paper.

The death of publishing is more like the death of movable type as a technology. Even if we go to emojis (ahem, heiroglyphs?) still nothing to worry about. Those are footnotes.

There is something about moving your eyes left and right like you're walking forward. Something about the whole thing.

Probably they had it when they were doing the cave paintings (for all we know) and will have it if not when the sun burns our world, at least when the last human walks the earth.
S🤦‍♂️ Author Icon - I can attest that at least where I am I have seen more bookstores open up. Likewise, Little Free Libraries are also doing well, so people can pass along their books to others. Given the increasing suspicion of digital products and posts on social media touting the value of physical media, I think physical books and bookstores will get something of a mini-bump in the short term.
Elisa, Stik-or-Treat Author Icon - Anecdotally, our public library is doing really well, too. Always busy in person, much longer wait times for books than before (physical and digital).

I'm curious to see their year-end reports.
