		<description><![CDATA[Here is a great article by Christopher Hopper, author of six novels,  a recording artist, and a great friend.  Please visit his blog at http://www.christopherhopper.com/blog/

What do you think?  Are print books quickly going the way of the dinosaurs?

putting it in context

Vinyl.

I have very fond memories of sifting through my parent’s record collection as a boy, and my dad teaching me how to handle the large black discs “only touching the sides” – as if my finger tips had the ability to annihilate the music forever if I slipped and touched the center. Zeppelin. The Who. Peter, Paul &#38; Mary. The Yard Birds. Earth, Wind &#38; Fire. Peter Frampton. Cream. All subject to me touching only the sides.

But vinyl was on its way out (with the strange 8-track obsession quickly averted) and cassettes were in. Of course seeing tape made more sense to me as that’s all I saw in the studio. I watched my dad splice thousands of feet of tape for an album, all whizzing by at 30ips (inches per second). So shrinking a 2″ tape down into a hand-held version was nothing short of miraculous.

Then CDs came along, and the digital age was born. Even though I knew that I was trading true sine-waves for digital bits, there was something sexy about them. That, and I never had to use a pencil to wind the music back in. Sure, there was the whole scratch issue, but that would be solved in the next iteration.

Digital music files.

No tape to unravel, no plastic to scratch, and most of all, instant access and ultimate portability.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=christianwriterscorner.wordpress.com&amp;blog=4178418&amp;post=317&amp;subd=christianwriterscorner&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
