Content introduction:
For more than 500 years, books have always been an important feature of modern culture and the foundation on which education and learning depend. If there is no resource wealth preserved, circulated and passed down from generation to generation in the form of books, it is hard to imagine what western culture and even today's world civilization would look like. However, in recent years, there has been such a conjecture, that is, whether this 500-year-old culture that we are familiar with and attach importance to is possible to disappear. Today, the book publishing industry is undergoing a profound change, just as Johannes Gutenberg began to use the traditional spiral embossing machine to produce printed texts. One of the reasons for this change is the scientific and technological revolution led by digitalization, and no one can know exactly how this change will be interpreted in the field of book publishing. Although the contents packaged in the form of books will still be circulated in various forms, many people still wonder whether printed books will repeat the mistakes of vinyl records and eventually become collectors' collections and strange relics of the past years. Will books continue to exist as an important form in a world where computers and television are universal cultural forms?
