What would it take to make telephone service obsolete? It won't go away--it'll just evolve into the next iteration/improvement of the same thing.

Anyone who believes the internet made books obsolete probably never checks the references on Wikipedia, and believes anything the TV/website tells them.

reading a book for information takes way longer then just searching it on google or any other search engine, and it doesn't matter where the information on the internet came from
