Fretless

Books are old, outdated, obsolete, and simply incompatible with my music-playing, video-watching, picture-sharing, social-networking, web-surfing hand-held computer phone. And why do we still have public libraries? I can download every text ever written to my 120 terabyte flash drive key chain. I cannot even think of a good reason to go into one of those ancient book museums. The jaundiced pages reek of dust and mildew. And think of all the trees that were murdered to print those useless artifacts! My LED Touchscreen eBook Reader™ displays text in 1080p without harming a single part of the environment. Show me a paperback that trumps that! Speaking of "going green," most people today would advocate the idea of abolishing paper altogether. Our natural resources are dwindling rapidly, and the rate at which we waste paper is only catalyzing the situation. Deca-core™ i9 processor computers are already perfectly capable of permanently replacing pens, pencils (which also promote the butchering of trees), and paper. Think of the possibilities! No one would have to worry about monotonous handwriting or expensive ink cartridges ever again. Few people alive today even utilize cursive writing. It is like cooking with an old oven; what is the point if we have digital microwaves? With everyone typing at 100 words per minute, so much more could be accomplished.
In regards to the few radicals that oppose this movement, it cannot be stopped. In fact, it has already begun. It is now our civic duty to promote the advancement of technology and accessibility - all in the name of enhancing humankind.
