Writing in the future

What will writing be like in the future?

I don’t know.  Will we have a usb port (or equivalent) embedded in our skulls, with a direct download to our brain, like the matrix?  We already have the ability to instantly download our favorite book to a phone, ipad, kindle, or a dozen other devices just like them.  Will we even have to read, or will the information just be instantly processed into our memories?  The internet can be used to spread almost any information in a heartbeat.  Will book and magazine publishers be obsolete?  As much as people are pushing ‘going green’, will paper even be allowed to be used for actual books?  As much as our society is rushed , will anyone want to, or have the time to sit down and read a book?  Will there be an interface invented to allow dictation by thought?  If so, a ‘writer’ could have his or her book instantly uploaded to the internet (or whatever replaces it), which would be instantly downloaded by people, allowing one person to instantly relate a story to another person.  This amazing ‘new’ technology is very similar to one that has existed for thousands of years… it’s called storytelling.   People used to do it with this brilliant invention called a ’mouth’, and they would download the information with a port in the sides of their head called ’ears.’  

  Welcome to the future.
