Current Events Week 1 Technology

This article is about new technology that mixes videos and books, called vooks. What exactly are vooks? Do a lot of authors like the new format? Do you think these new vooks will eventually take the place of real books? Why or why not?

  1. A vook is an oline book that shows videos or plays sounds to emphasize certain parts of a story while you read it. Some authors really seem to like the idea of it, while others think it is audacious to alter books like this. I really don't think that vooks will take the place of books anytime soon, though they might become extremely popular with the our technilogical age.
