It’s 2010, as I’ve said about five times since it actually has been 2010. At the Consumer Electronics show in Las Vegas a few weeks ago, we saw a lot of Ebooks, the new medium for delivering books digitally.

It begs the question, is the physical paperback book beginning to die? And more importantly, what happens to Facebook once its gone? What happens in another one or two generations when “books” in their pure form don’t exist except as a collectors item? The social network will lose its meaning, the name won’t make sense. Not that it does now.

This raises a new question, one we must begin to urgently think about. What should Facebook be called once the book ceases to exist? How about Facetablet?

Ha! I saw these videos a while ago. I have to admit, Microsoft’s glimpse of the future looks pretty awesome. Did anyone else notice a distinct lack of Microsoft branding anywhere?

This video parodies the original videos that didn’t have any voice overs on them. If you remember, the same guys parodied the Microsoft Surface video as well. They’re hilarious!
