The Culture of Booking

June 24, 2011 By Will Richardson

This Kevin Kelly post is worth the read in its entirety, but I especially like this shift in thinking. It parallels the way we have to start thinking about learning, as a continuous process, not just an event. Hope to write more about that in a bit. 

The primary shift is one of thinking of the book as a process rather than artifact. We are moving from the culture of the book to the culture of booking. Our focus is no longer on the book, the noun, but on booking, the verb – on that continuous process of thinking, writing, editing, writing, sharing, editing, screening, writing, screening, sharing, thinking, writing – and so on that incidentally throws off books. Books, even ebooks, are by-products of the booking process.
