I’ve been busy in recent weeks putting together a symposium on The Future of the Book. It’s past. It was a success… I’m relieved.
For it, I did a presentation titled, “Is Book A Verb? The Social Future of the Book.” In it I posit that we are in the midst of moving from a Literal Tradition of sharing and passing on culture to a Social Tradition.
I used Prezi, the zooming online presentation program. The students really liked it; some of the adults complained of way too much zooooming.
A video version of it is below. If you’ve got 13 minutes, give it a look. Comments appreciated…
The full Prezi presentation is embedded below…
