The convenience of having a digital book or digital platforms to read is just amazing. Humans went from cave drawings to electronic books! The hardships it took to communicate and keep things noted isn’t anything compared to the various ways we have to read. There was a point in time when people took note of things on scrolls and now we can go anywhere and search up thousands of books from our phones.

Paper books are most definitely legendary and will always be around. Books are able to fund jobs such as librarians. In books is where the most amazing historical events were captured in.

    I definitely agree kids these days have electronic devices at early ages. The reason is because their parents are realizing that electronics are the norm to our generations. There are definitely pros and cons to how much we use technology everyday. You’re right books will always be around they are apart of our education and usually have further information than the internet does at times.

    I think the access to ebooks is amazing. I have read both on a nook and real books and while nothing can compare to the experience of reading from a real book, I understand the appeal of ebooks. Not only is it easier to carry around and travel with but it’s also easier to purchase different books and get them right away. At the end of the day reading is reading and if people have a preference to one or the other it shouldn’t matter.

    I see how having books online is very convenient but I think it can’t compare to reading a book. Somethings in life are hard and reading a book is one of them. People in this world always like the easy version of things and that is exactly what reading online is.
