I will also be looking more at the aesthetic experience of books vs. kindles and similar book 'replacements', remembering of course that books are technology themselves.

I need to do lots of thinking and mind maps.

Tutorial
I talked to Jason about where my ideas are going. For my next steps I am going to summarise my research on book shops and libraries closing, and add it to my blog. I am going to compare online and analog environments, for example a real life book shop vs. Amazon, and record them photographically. I will look at the differences in experience and consider if anything is lost or gained.

New ideas
Today's tutorial encouraged me to focus on something that interests me. I thought literature would be a good starting point, as I love to read and technological alternatives to books seem to be everywhere.
Even when doing the reading for this project, I found it really difficult to read large amounts of text on a computer screen.Though many full books are available online, it's not the same as reading a book in real life; many people are strongly against e-reading.
How can you have an online equivalent to this?
Though the internet may contain all the same information as these books (and much more) I feel that something is definitely lost. For me, having your own book that you can hold in your hands is better than looking at a bland screen of text.
