Knowledge, Learning, Community

It's not the approach I would choose, precisely because it takes a lot of time and skill to design interactive PDFs (enough that this article suggests you hire a vendor) but I think it's worth taking note of this incremental step in a longer-term trend, which is that content is becoming less static (and less like traditional books and articles) and more dynamic and interactive. It my feel like nothing is changing, but at a certain point the static nature of paper becomes a real liability. Meanwhile, though, authors keep writing them and publishers keep publishing them. But this is the last generation, unless for some reason we have a global technological collapse.
