#8 How Did Print Books Survive?

The book was supposed to be dead by now.
Kindle. Nook. iPad. E-books. Amazon. The collapse of Borders.
Around 2010, the future seemed obvious: physical books were disappearing, bookstores were doomed, and digital reading was going to replace print.
Except it didn't.
E-books won a place at the table. Audiobooks won a place at the table. And somehow, the physical book stayed.
So what happened?
And more importantly: what does that tell us about the future of education?
Today we're making many of the same predictions about schools. Online learning. Digital classrooms. AI. Virtual education. The idea that technology can make the traditional school obsolete.
But maybe we've confused replacing a tool with replacing the thing the tool was built to serve.
The Kindle didn't kill the book because a book was never just information printed on paper.
And maybe technology won't kill school because school was never just information delivered by a teacher.
This week on The Golden Table, we're talking about the death of the book that never happened—and what its survival might teach us about technology, education, teachers, classrooms, and what school is actually for.
