As we know it the world we live in has been becoming more and more advanced. Specifically, with technology. The new era of technology makes everything 10x easier and it has become the new normal. This generation of children are way more familiar with a iPad or a phone rather than a book. Especially in a time like this almost everything is digital. As we continue to dive into the future, the more updated everything becomes.

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.

In the documentary, Out of the Print (2013) Robert Darnton the director of Harvard University Library, organized conference filled with leaders in foundations of libraries and computer engineers. They discussed about the possibility of creating a public library for people who rather be digital. This would be called The Digital Public Library of America. This goes to show how technology is making the things we know it evolve in ways we would’ve never imagined.

Hello everyone, my name is Chanyia and I am currently in my third year of attending Alfred University. My major is Communications and I’m planning to minor in Business Administration. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. When I first came to Alfred I wanted to study Athletic Training but then I found great interest in the communications major after taking the Introduction to Comm class. I am a person who love to dip and dabble into things and have many hobbies. I Dj, do photography, I sometimes like to cook, and I am also working on getting into graphic designs. I also trade within the foreign exchange market and have a linked partnership with a company called iMarketsLive to where I receive a residual check every Friday just by simply teaching others what I do.
