As we advance further and further into the future, we find ourselves straying farther from elements of the past, specifically literature. In the past 200 years we have upgraded from writing on a piece of paper with a feather dipped in ink with candle light, to having any piece of knowledge in the world at our finger tips. Humans are straying away from books because technology is growing and is just so much easier to use then having to read a whole book or skimming through it to find the one part you need. Libraries are becoming more and more useless are we advance our technology and at some point in the near future will be going out of business. With things like nooks and kindle’s, you can just buy books on these devices and store them on there and not have to leave the comfort of your own home.

Literature can not be taken for granted though. It can be very knowledgeable and informative and I think kids should read more. The library piece is what can be taken out. We do not need to go anywhere when we have the most valuable piece of technology at our finger tips and can look up anything within seconds.
