take a wiff

".... a "library-scented" perfume — "old English novel, leather and just a hint of wood polish" — created by a Brooklyn-based artist-perfumer." This sentence from the reading kind of weirded me out. Why would anyone want to smell like that? Nostalgia? Maybe.
I can still remember the smell of the local library I would go to as a youngin and I would not want to wear that scent as a perfume. Smells like... doctors office, with a hint of rubber, and a splash of old people. But what ever floats your boat, I guess.

Will people sometime be wearing "e-book scented" perfume because we'll go through a revolution where e-books will be a thing of the past and be sought out as "vintage"?

What would that smell like?...

 Metal.

Ch-Ch-Changes

In my opinion and from past experience, it seems that people sometimes take what they have and is happening in the present for granted. Whether it be people in their lives, education, technology, health, etc. It usually isn't until something changes in their life (usually not for the better) to make them realize how good they had it before. Or one day someone they know is suddenly taken away from them that they realize how precious their relationship with them was and they they took the time they had with them for granted. I could see how books are all of a sudden becoming more "precious" as soon as books are more widely available online. It's a new technology that some people are still getting use to. Or maybe some really just don't like reading unless its on paper and therefore rebel against new technology, but without the past there would be nothing to learn from. People just don't like to let go of the past or don't like change. But we need change and learn from the past in order to move forward with new technology and to advance our human race. I'm not saying to get rid of paper books all together, but lets embrace change.
