The Future of Le Livre?

By • Jul 16th, 2009 • Category: 26th Story, Big Ideas, Technology

Leave it to the French to give us such a civilized vision of how the physical book and electronic book might someday coexist.

    The video reminds me of a video done by Apple Computer in 1987 (22 years earlier) on the future of computing. Do you see the similarities?
