Review on Research Report with Chris

Feedback from peers:

• Will children's picture books remain regardless of the iPad/Kindle etc because of their fragility.
• Rephrase question... "How has the digital age affected upon the illustrated children's book?" 
• McKean one of the first UK illustrators to appress the digital - this process adaptable others may not be - compare/contrast.
• Interview artists who have digitally based work and artist who's opposite to get arguments for and against.
• Is the article the spine of essay? Will you be using it to jump off points for different questions?
• Animations - too distracting to have next to text?
• Even technological versed children of today learn to read from printed media.
• Some people's general distaste of reading from a screen. 
• Death of print could be interesting. 
• Impact of kindle/iPad has both positives and negatives, so could be quite a difficult question to tackle?
• Accessibility of online purchase and relationship of touch with the book could be good to compare.
• For and against apps?
• How much creative control does the illustrator get when doing these apps?
• Other illustrators that do the same thing?
• Research into statistics and graphs.
• Do surveys with children to understand their preference?
• 'Is there space for digital and print?' = not everyone owns a kindle or smartphone
• Maybe look into statistics of percentage of people who own such tech? 100% of people must own at least one book, but not 100% of people own tech to read digital books.
• Abstract seems bit unclear.. go over it...
• Devices break, physical book not such a risk.
• iPads - children like the process of touching & interaction with apps. But without this would it be any good?
• Picture books are safest industry - sales up.
• Will people go to kindles etc? Between iPad and book, more people have a book!
• When parents read a book with child, would they sit down and use iPad? /it's expensive and can be broken, but with physical book there isn't that problem.

 > THE TECHNOLOGICAL SINGULARITY - '  is a theoretical moment in time when artificial intelligence will have progressed to the point of a greater-than-human intelligence that will "radically change human civilisation, and perhaps even human nature itself."'

> MOORE'S LAW - 'is the observation that, over the history of computing hardware, the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles approximately every two years.' 

Here are the points from the written feedback I got from the students in my review today. There's a lot to still think about, but I have Caitrin's workshop on thursday about the written side of things and I also have a individual tutorial where she can hopefully get the subject a bit clearer in my head and where to go from there.
