“Read While you Write”
reading for the future is quite a vast subject to tackle with. There are so many ideas that may pop out of one’s mind. For we may not really know the future we can just guess.
The design that I have come up with is a book contained in a highlighter. However, instead of its normal function, which is highlighting stuff on paper, it produces not only colorful lines but rather words from a book. Such words are shown using the author’s own penmanship. So, the reader not only reads the book he likes, but can also see the real penmanship of the author. Thus, reading while writing or highlighting while reading.
This gadget can be used anywhere anytime as long as there is something that the reader can write on with. Plus, it is so handy. One can carry it anywhere as a key chain. So wherever the reader goes he can read the book he wants.
The consumers can purchase this product through bookstores in line with other readable materials. He/she just needs to find the title that he/she wants.
This gadget caters the usual senses used in reading a present book. If the reader wants to flip pages then he/she can just write on as many papers as he/she wants. For I’ve learned that flipping pages gives a fulfilling feeling to a reader.
The reading experience can be shared to others through sharing gadgets or the paper that was used by the reader.
