Despite the increased popularity in audio books, the looming death of print media, and a slight dip in reading enthusiasm, I can’t see humankind abandoning the practice of reading and writing for fun and artistic expression ever. We’ll always rely on some kind of communication of news, facts, and stories. Not only that, but humans are social creatures, we love to share our experiences, hear about other people’s adventures, and escape from our occasionally dreary/boring world.
Unfortunately, we will probably see a drastic decrease in larger bookstore chains. Barnes and Noble is slowly but surely going the way of Borders and unless they change something soon people just aren’t going to shop there anymore when they could support small, local bookstores or buy them online from the comfort of their home. While the formats are changing, the actual need for story telling will never fade out of our society. I’m excited to see the new stories, ideas, and perspectives that future stories will tell. With our ever-evolving culture and the addition of others, the new novels are going to be very exciting and interesting. And that’s a prediction and a fact!
