We are heading for that kind of world. Not pretty

Not
exactly... It won't come to people memorizing books. Books aren't being outlawed/forbidden; we're just going through a change in mediums, like film to video, silver nitrate to digital, theaters to television, precious metals to paper (money) to plastic/electronic... (wagon wheels to pneumatic tires?
) And like those, the older forms (books) will still be around—just not in as great numbers, and more expensive.
