The Future of the Book, the Book of the Future

摘要

Books are not merely a means of saving and transmitting information and knowledge. Books are like innumerable keys of a huge choir organ played by all of us. They depend on our intelligence, our boldness as well as on our faults. At the same time, they constitute an indirect way of communication between the author and the reader. Modern times, characterized by digital information create an actual need: the constant flow of data and the dynamic processing of a vast volume of information. How can we combine the requirements of an era that rapidly downrates all knowledge and capacities with the need to go deeper into knowledge? In what way shall we be able to combine the joy of reading on paper, with the need for constant renewal of its context? How shall we be able to make educational books a means of interactive communication between authors, educators and students? This paper aims to present the meaning of hybrid book, as the main learning tool in future education.
