It is very clear that Richard Miller had a love for books. He loved to read, and for the rest of his life he wanted to work with books. However, he found out real quick that books are quickly going obsolete. When a book is no longer being published and it can be bought for fifty nine cents on Amazon, it is a sign that it's time to do something else.
What he did was find ways to use books and technology at the same time! Being able to do research without ever having to leave your home is so convenient, and the world is at your fingertips!
One thing that I found intriguing from what he said on Part 2 was that as we are learning, we should teach that ideas are not to be kept to the individual, but they are to be shared as a culture! Everyone can use them, everyone should benefit!
Not only can books so quickly be found online, but putting projects together has advanced greatly. From forming movies with still images, to using video as a part of a presentation, writing media is endless!
If books are quickly diminishing to virtual books, then it is equally important to teach students how to access this; otherwise they will have nothing to grow off of in the future!
So, take a look at your post just above. Are there inconsistencies in your position. We all display our inconsistencies. But we often do not recognize them!
