Today i wandered around Borders for what may be the very last time. It was an administrators sale and everything, even the bookshelves were up for grabs. I have fond memories of wandering around, letting my mind discover all it could. That feeling of flicking through a book, the smell of fresh paper and the curiosity for other peoples lives.
It dawned on me that with all the online stores and ipads and technology that book shops will become a thing of the past. That whole generations will grow up not knowing this feeling of wandering through books. That libraries will become learning centres with the internet and couches and wifi connectivity.
The world is changing. A moment of sadness while i stop for a moment to ponder before joining the world once more.
