I admit it, I am a Babylon 5 addict – I think it was a brilliant conceived and executed sci fi saga that still holds up a good 20 years later. I’m gradually re-watching it at the moment and noticed a really prescient re-cycling moment. Two of the characters met at the ‘newstand’ where they put in their papers, dialled up what they wanted, and it came back to them with the day’s news. It was particularly interesting because the paper paradigm remained, they didn’t go as far an e-paper. With the advent of e-book readers, I wonder whether there will finally be a paradigm shift. I like the feel of paper, but if I can get 100s of books on a small reader – on which I can change the text size as my eyesight gets worse – I might make the change myself.
