What will be the future form of book design?
The relationship between books and information. The most important thing is that the only information display forms that paper books can display are words and pictures, and the information display forms that we can accept now are totally more than these. Even if audio and video can't be taken apart as books, there is generally no objection to integrating them into e-books. More and more forms of information display are worth going back to understand the process of "reading". We are not trying to remember words and pixels in pictures, but actually remembering ideas and logic. Whether it is language, text or video, these are the carriers of information, not the information itself. In this case, there is a problem, the relationship between books and information. In fact, this question is easy to answer: books are a collection of certain information, and whether the media is "paper" is not a necessary and sufficient condition for each other, and there is no absolute relationship between nature and information display forms; Negative relationship. But when the presentation form of information itself has changed greatly enough to subvert the media that carries it, is the definition of a book still the same as we used to understand? No matter whether the boundaries of books exist or not, no matter the necessity of their temporary existence, what "books" actually exist but are not widely recognized can also bring or surpass the enjoyment that books can give. What the blind can "see" through touch is a book, and what they feel through hearing is another kind of thing called audio books? In the Apple Store, there is an e-book named Eliot's The Waste Land (not an American drama in 15+ 1 1), which contains Eliot's manuscripts, videos and audio materials, including a performance of The Waste Land by an Irish drama company. It is a rich software, not just words. At present, some e-book reading software mainly imitates paper books, with the intention of bringing users the experience of reading paper books.
