on Digital vs. Physical ... books (and things)

from an article in the New York Times about the digitization of books, and the growth of kindles, nooks and  ipads.

Craig Mod, a book designer, has some really great points/insights on books, but I think it goes to all things content and form.

My favorites are:
"The true value of an object lies in what it says, not its mere existence.”
and
"that the printed book can be a sculpture for thoughts and ideas"

Here's his blog post.
Here's the NY Times article.

On Information vs. Knowledge

in this age of endless information and facts it seems
"soon we shall know everything that doesn't count,
and nothing that does."
- John Bogle (paraphrasing Neil Postman)

information vs. knowledge
facts vs. wisdom

be careful
be aware
