Some futurists claim that no one will be reading in 50 years. Some say America is a Republic of Movies and that Americans now tell their stories in movies rather than in books. One of Hawaii’s filmmakers shared her ideas on this topic in this recorded podcast from the Hawaii Library Association’s annual conference on November 10, 2006. She addressed how reading and books help her make films, and also shared her thoughts on the extent to which she envisions a future without reading, where all information is passed in fluid, moving media. Edgy Lee is an articulate and passionate Hawaiian filmmaker, and her presentation serves as an inspiration to digital storytellers everywhere.

Fascinating! Especially the Mexican connection to Hawaii. Regarding libraries, when I was a kid one of the reasons that you went was to access encyclopedias and other reference books too expensive to buy yourself. With the research capabilities of the internet, that’s no longer necessary. We’re still reading, of course, but on the screen. It will be interesting to see whether libraries can evolve to still play an important role in communities.
