"Kick 'em in the nads!"

Seriously though. I welcome the voice active AI future. We already talk to our phones, we already have audiobooks. You people already have waifus (make the next step and design a computer personality secretary) Why kill your thumbs so much typing all the time?

You could be reading for hours and hours, and then when you get hungry, just ask your computer to pick up reading while you make a sammich

AUDIO "BOOKS" CONSTITUTE A BASTARDIZATION OF LITERATURE; ONE CAN ENJOY LISTENING TO AUDIO "BOOKS", BUT ONE SHOULD NOT CLAIM TO BE LITERATE, NOR TO "ENJOY LITERATURE", BECAUSE OF THAT; AUDIO "BOOKS" SHOULD BE EXCLUSIVELY RESERVED FOR PRAGMATICAL CONTENT, AND CONTENT OF LOW LITERARY VALUE.

Why, though? You're consuming the exact same story. The only difference is you're using your ears instead of your eyes

READING, AND HEARING, ARE TWO MUTUALLY DIFFERENT COGNITIVE PROCESSES, EACH OF WHICH HAS THEIR OWN PSYKHICAL EFFECTS, AND AFFECTS; THE SPOKEN WORD IS "SHALLOW"; THE WRITTEN WORD IS "DEEP".

>>12843103

THE SPOKEN WORD, AND THE WRITTEN WORD ARE BOTH FACETS OF VERB.

I DID NOT STATE THAT THE SPOKEN WORD IS A BASTARDIZATION OF ANYTHING; I STATED THAT AUDIO "BOOKS" ARE A BASTARDIZATION OF LITERATURE.

Okay, why don't you go ahead and explain these physical effects for me, and how it makes the story any different. You're just spouting nonsense

Audiobooks are godly, and allow me to read a book while on the job operating heavy machinery

>> No.12843338

Part of the enjoyment of reading to me is the cadence and “sound” a persons prose provokes in my head. Audiobooks ruin that.

I’m aware that this is a meme explanation but it’s my biggest reason for hating audiobooks. I also think they make it extremely easy to pay fuck all attention to what is going on and gain nothing from the text other than being able to say that you “read” it when really you were spacing out during your morning commute for 30 minutes every day while it droles on in the background and rarely creeps above the third or fourth thing on your mind.

All these naysayers must have never attended a lecture before
Audiobooks are just fine. Remember that before television sucked the masses in many of them were radio listeners. Oral tradition is older than written tradition yet is no less respectable

Because they want to make fun of you.

Even if your reading were analog, they'd then make fun of what you're reading.

And if you were reading the same things as them, theyd make fun of how quickly you read.
