Sir David Tang, entrepreneur and founder of ICorrect, offers advice on questions about property, interiors – and modern manners for globetrotters
I gather from your various columns that you are a bibliophile; a reader and gatherer of books which come in paper form. The view of the new boss of Pearson, owner of Financial Times, is that ebooks are now in. Given that his words suggest a sea change in reading habits is under way, will you be relining your shelves with Kindles, iPads and apps? Is there a danger that your job is at stake if you continue to appear to live in the past? How are you finding a balance in these electronic times? I might add that I remain a dedicated “hard copy” reader.
I hope I don’t get the sack. Surely even for ebooks and e-columns, human writers are still needed? I think the days when a computer could be expected to write entirely creatively are still far away.
