STEWART, George

"The Twilight of the Printed Book." In "The Pacific Spectator"

Vol. III, No. 1 (Winter, 1949). Very good. [76129]

According to Mr. Stewart the book will be "largely superceded" by the year 2000. By what, one may ask? By microfilm! A vision of the future is presented in which every home has its own microfilm reader! This is of course one of a series of predictions of the "death of the book" dating from at least as far back as 1940 in which books are slated to be replaced succesively by photostats, microfilm, microprinting, CD Roms, e-books and perhaps a few other other things along the way which we have missed.
