No more books?

Books are doomed, so they say. I read that on the Internet this morning, so it must be right!
No, it's not that totally drastic - the people concerned say we'll still have the actual "stories", the verse, the histories and the great prose, but we won't have any need for the actual "book" because all the words (and the pictures, I presume) are going to be on the Internet!
The Google company, expanding like an exploding star, wants to put all of the World's books on the net, and they're competing with another big concern for the right to do it, so we're told.
It's certainly bold thinking from Google - No need for libraries any more,no book shops, no school books (the youngsters can read on their PC - if they can break from their computer game).
I suppose we'll have to have a couple of PCs in the lounge, a couple in the bedroom, perhaps one in the "smallest room", so we can read without unnecessary interruption.
What a lot of "twaddle" that idea is.
Years and years ago, when computers were first introduced into business, "experts" told us we were heading toward the "Paperless Office". A world without books is just as likely.
I can't imagine any satisfaction from reading novels on my PC screen (complete with Google adverts down the sides) and, to be fair, I don't expect the brilliant Google people expect that to be the future rule, entirely.
But it's a horrible thought!
