Insane or Innovation?

We all believe that since technology is advancing that there will no longer be any need for things to be printed because they are already easily accessible through the Internet. Every one thinks that we are moving towards a digital era and we no longer need printed materials because they take up too much space and cost us too much. Now a designer named Kyle Bean came up with a concept that is either bizarre or an idea. He has come up with the concept of books actually being mini computers that have a disc that has all of the books’ content on it. This is truly remarkable, since the fact that the industry is slowly going towards digital information. It is definitely an interesting concept and that there is a mini keypad on the pages, which makes even more, like a computer rather than it just being a DVD player. This technology is also very miniscule and portable which would definitely make someone want to pick it up. But if you look at it carefully all that he has done was carved a book, resurfaced the bookbinding and put a computer in it. But it makes you think as if this could be something that could actually become reality. It is a great way of putting a spin of something that is already a major thing.
