With the hectic lives people live today they do not have time to sit down and read. Even when they are granted with leisure time majority of people do not want to read. Therefore I would design books that read the book to the reader. The sound would come out of a headphone jack on the top of the book. This saves space because you do not need your ipod and the book. This also saves time because they can listen to the book while eating breakfast because they do not need to actually read the book they just need to listen. This design would greatly improve the lives of people by allowing them to read while doing other tasks, allow them to listen to their favorite books without reading them and also save space in the process.
With the tight schedules children and adults have they can not afford to just relax and read a book. They are constantly taking the children to sports and school functions and their jobs. Giving most parents and children virtually no time to read. However with this new design for the book they can read the book while driving, preparing dinner or playing sports. Now children can also read the book for their book report while eating an after school snack or on their way to their sporting event. Students who have trouble reading can also use this as an aid. They can look at the words and sound them out and then hear what they sound like thus improving their reading levels. This design is perfect for the tight schedules people face.
Even if people have time to read in their day, reading is not on the top of the to due list for some people. However they still might want to read a book that they hear their friends talking about or that was recommended. So they can go get the book plug in their headphones and just sit back and listen to the book. Some people also do not like to read because they get a headache from squinting to read the little letters. Well, they do not have to worry about reading the letters because they can just hear them through the headphones. This new design also speeds up the process of reading because the audio of the book will be played fluently without any stoppage or stumbling on words. This makes the read more enjoyable because the reader will not get frustrated by not knowing a word. With less frustration the reader will likely want to read more books.
The fact that the book has the audio clip built into the book is a complete space and money saver. It is more space efficient than having an iPod with the book on because then you need the iPod, you have to download the book audio, and have your headphones. This design cuts out the iPod part giving more space and also saving you some money because you do not need to pay to download the book to your iPod. You also only need the book so when you buy the book you can listen to it immediately. Also, if you are constantly reading books it can become very costly to buy both the book and pay for the book on iTunes. Thus making this an all around efficient product.
This design not only saves money, time and a headache but also lays down a sturdy foundation for more improvements as our technology increases. It is a very simple design that gives amazing advantages. There is no telling what kind of designs can come to us in our near future. With scientists constantly finding ways to make products smaller and more cost efficient we could see this audio book, be upgraded into an audio book with video. Or a book with blank pages that you have to download the book of the Internet and the words show up on the pages. This book could have a hard drive that can store multiple books on it. Which will also cut down on the amount of paper used in our world. Technology has come a long way and will constantly grow as long as good designs like this are created.
