Books are an Obsolete Medium




The old dusty museums that we call libraries today can explain about books that are becoming an obsolete medium. The books that once were the main source of information; religion, philosophy, literature everything began with books and also had a “the civilization of books” in the west but to people of present generation books are becoming as a substitute to e-books. Especially the younger generation who think that book occupies space so just with one laptop or ipad reading is made easier instead of carrying books that are heavy. Obviously only this medium is going to be passed on to the next generation, which is going to avoid books completely. This might help prevent cutting of trees in order to make papers but this leads to demise of the age of books. Which I feel need to be preserved. On some point I personally feel that reading from books makes it more personal in both aspect as reading and also as an object of owning it.
