Some people say that the age of book is over and all information will be presented
by video, computer, television, etc. however, others think that books and the written
words will still necessary for spreading information and completing education.
Which is your opinion about this issue?
With the advent of the internet technology, we are in the information age now, so we get much information from the media. Although this is an irreversible trend, I do not think electronic media will replace books and written words, because the latter still plays an important role in spread information and completing education.
There is no denying that electronic media have many advantages, such as high speed, vast memory, but we should not ignore the disadvantages, for instance, sometimes we confused the meaning, and in the internet, it full of sex and violate, so the crime rates reached a record high, and we also type the words with keyboard, many young people don’t know how to write and differentiate the correct words. And another advantage is that they are not easily to portable and have to take phone lines and many equipments when use it, and it may cause eyes disease or radiation related diseases.
On the contract, in spite of some people says that books and hand written words are old-fashioned, they still use widely in the school education and spread information, and I think books tend to create an affinity with human readers, and it easy to take and can read everywhere, so it have more practicality.
Books and written words will not be replace by any electronic equipments because of their practical and artistic values.
