People in the future may read fewer books. why?
将来的人不会读书。为什么呢?
Firstly, people are not going to read book books. As more books are being transformed into audio books and E-books. I guess in the future it would be very surprising to see people still holding paper books in their hands. Most people will carry an ipad or some other electronic gadget, like Amazon Kindle. And with cell phone screen getting bigger and clear, many more people will use their cell phone as the main reading interface.
首先,将来的人不会看纸质的书。因为更多的书已经转变为音频书或是电子书的形式。我猜想将来要是还能看见人们手中拿着纸质的书,一定是件很惊奇的事情。大多数人会手握平板电脑或是一些其他的像Kindle的电子阅读器。而且,随着手机屏不断变大变清晰,手机会成为越来越多的人的阅读界面。
Secondly, right now, the younger generation and the future generation will be more attracted by a variety of different forms to interact with knowledge. So I guess interactive programs on computer will take the place of books to carry on the transition of knowledge from one generation to the next generation.
其二,现在,吸引年轻一代以及将来的年轻人的是多种多样与知识互动的方式。因此我猜想计算机程序将会取代书本的位置将知识一代一代传承下去。
