On Line Books – The future of the written word
There was a time when a popular past time used to be reading a book or novel. Nowadays, this good habit of reading has been replaced rather quickly with other forms of entertainment such as watching a movie and computer gaming on either computers or consoles such as the xbox 360. The rapid advancement of technology has made the book rather obsolete. Where one used to turn to books to satisfy that craving for an “out of this world” experience, now they just need to switch on the television, watch a movie or boot up that gaming console. Some might argue that reading books are better as it promotes better intellect and mind exercises. However, the gaming console proponent might argue that the games also has benefits as they promote thinking and hone planning and strategy regions of the brain and even improve the reflexes. As for the television and movies, let’s just say they de stress and relax you!
So what is the future for books or shall I put it as the written words and imagination of another person? The future is not as bleak as some may put it. The hard copy of books are still being bought and as long as demand is there, they will be made available. The environmentalists might want books production to decrease though to save the trees.
One way of making as many people happy is the provision of on line books. It might need a bit getting used to reading an ebook on a digital reader such as a kindle or an iPad. But it might actually be convenient as you can literally carry digital copies of hundreds of books on your reader! There are many resources for books on line with the amazon book store being one of the biggest and most popular ones.
