BOOK
It's easy to guess during a game of charades: two open hands and, you know it, a book! Books have been around for centuries. They’re a great way to record stories and spread ideas. Many religions base their ideologies around the content of books, and many legends and myths are still circulating thanks to being recorded in books. But paper books? They’re actually a relatively new phenomenon — and yet, at the same time, old-fashioned. Nowadays, e-readers and audiobooks are becoming increasingly popular. How much longer will public libraries and local bookstores last?
