The new digital cornucopia is wonderful, according to Darren Wershler, professor of communications at Ontario's Wilfrid Laurier University. “But I'm profoundly distrustful of anybody who comes along and offers to consolidate all that for me,” he added. “I don't want them making choices about what I'm reading, where I can get it, what format it's in, which machines I can look at it on. All of those things are a real problem, and nobody ever talks about them.”

The article then goes on to completely ignore all of those questions, proving Prof. Wershler correct (at least on that; I disagree with him on the aesthetic questions, but that's entirely a matter of personal taste.) |
Mr. Wershler is absolutely correct. Certainly
no one here at MobileRead or any of the countless tech sites on the World Wide Web have
ever raised
any of those concerns. Surely in all of human history, Prof. Wershler is the
very first person to whom any of these questions ever even occurred. In the 13.8 billion years this Cosmos has existed,
no intelligent life form anywhere has ever talked about these problems; with the sole exception of Darren Wershler.
