Loud Bars
ikemchinedu thinks: It would be great to go to a pub or nightclub and be able to hold a conversation without having to shout as well as listen to music at a reasonable volume.

I dont think that it has to be so loud afterall most of us enjoy music an dancing without deafening ourselves with it.

It appears that many DJ's may have hearing difficulties; shouldnt they be tested.

Do books really need technology?
justemma thinks: It's horses for courses, if you prefer reading your literature off a piece of plastic, go for it. I prefer to be able to sink into a bath with a paperback. If you're ecological minded, try book exchanges, there's lots on the Net!

Do books really need technology?
sargenius thinks: Technology is not an object we can reject, it is a process of the human mind. The question is then not technology vs books as the printing press in its self is technology. The argument that one can take a book in the bath puzzles me as i seem to get books wet. I am confident that ebooks will eventually be perfectly emersible and bendy. Reading a screen may strain the eyes but so does reading a book. I am hoping for finer cars for 2008, but would love to own a 1950 Rolls. Its the same with books. We all love the old leather covers. But how about some nice new technology to bring the printed page more easily into our minds.

Do books really need technology?
JBonnin thinks: Once again... why only one of them?

I love the smell of old paper of a book I desired for long and that I end by finding! This doesn´t mean I don´t download loads of e-books. Ideally, I would have them all in beautiful old editions. But the e-books save me time and, very often, money.

Do books really need technology?
Simpler thinks: If the e-book device didnt have all the usual eletronic illnesses, such as clunky adapters, pc drivers, incompatible file formats, low battery life and poor contrast then yes. In theory this would be great. Lets see how many generations of products it will take before we are there. I will not be buying the first generations but waitings for most books to be available for the e-book and a device that works wirelessly and without any setup from my side. Hopefully I dont even have to buy it but can wait for my book club to lend me one. Oh, and I also need to be able to drop it on the floor without breaking it...

IanTomo thinks: Must admit, the places to go and talk are becoming few and far between.

But remember, the objective of these places is to extract as much money, from the largest group for as long as possible - and encourage them to come back again.

As much as we like to sit and chat in the corner of a cosy pub with a group of amiable chums, it does not pay the bills.

Dream thinks: I Like a nice Quiet Pub with Real Ales in it, no smoking throughout and good Veggie Food too. If I get 2 out of the 4 it's a good Pub *Sigh* :)

Loud Bars
justemma thinks: The perfect pub has an open fire, board games and good ales and you go there with friends for a quieter evening. Bars, on the other hand, one usually associates with louder music and as venues for meeting someone of the opposite sex. The two should be kept totally separate, I'd hate to see the traditional pub go in favour of the high-street chain drinkeries with 60% standing room, ear-splitting music and alcopops.

Loud Bars
SacredVermin thinks: warning: American post

I've been to plenty of bars, pubs, alehouses, etc., and if you can't have a nice chat over drinks with your friends, then it's not a pub anymore.

I'll admit, it does suck when you're booted out of your favorite local dive by the noise.
