The medium has evolved from the oral tradition, and it's still evolving.

Without readers, writers are nothing.Graham Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15561493204302079903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622029434153478101.post-73691281208416145142013-05-20T11:27:26.684-07:002013-05-20T11:27:26.684-07:00Hear!

I think the current rounds of gloom and doom about the future of reading is, like Mark Twain's demise, are grossly overrated.
