TECHNOLOGY

Now this is where it gets interesting, technology helps us communicate all over the world, sure, sometimes it helps with reading when on the move, it helps talking while on the move but at the same time isn't it all just a little impersonal ?
You text your best friend all the time; most of the day even, yet when was the last time you had a conversation on the phone, when was the last time you met up to have a coffee ?
Do you even discuss the same kind of things over text that you discuss in person ?



This is an example of something that has been shared world wide on a site called booksie.
Booksie is a great example of how technology over-rides the written word, in the sense that anyone, just like you and me can upload your own stories, poems, etc and they are published online. People who have access to internet can read them online or download the e-book version.








This is yet another example of a short story which has been uploaded world-wide.
The fascinating thing about this is that people from all over the world can like it, share it, re-post it and before you know what has happened you are talking to hundreds of people.
This would never happen if it was simply written on a piece of paper, friends, family and those in the passing may see your work and if by chance it was published on paper then would it have the same effect?

Amazon are selling at least 242 e-books to every 100 paper books sold.
Are the odds in your favor ?
What do you think ?
You want to share written or tech ?
