Technology has changed the way we read

It is great to have all those things like ipad, and other smart phones. You can carry 10 dictionaries in an ipad. This is absolutely remarkable. Sooner or later this technology will replace paper, I am sure.

In the coming few years, this new way of reading will take over the old paper reading. The new generation will accept this thing easily but it will be difficult for the book lovers to transform.

The new tablets/iPads etc are a practical way to carry a lot of books, it allows for interactive displays and it is lightweight and it reduces the amount of paper and ink used. These are all bonuses, counter is the production of these products, they use dangerous material in particular for the batteries, they also require electricity which means that whereas books can go anywhere these devices are limited to where they can be recharged. They may one day replace paper based reading material, but for the moment, it is unlikely, maybe in a few decades.

Eventually it does seem like it will sadly replace traditional methods of books. It won't happen for a few decades yet, at least that is my hope. I don't think that I could stand it if actual books disappeared right in my life. There is nothing wrong with e reader technology but there is just something about having the actual book resting my hands that enhances the reading experience. It just seems so cold and impersonal to really just read on these things. I refuse to let go of my precious books. We can always plant more trees, which is a problem as people don't think to do that. A lot of that technology is costly and not to mention a bit of an eye strain to read and also it just doesn't feel right when reading in bed. So actual hard copy books forever!

I like it. I am able to travel from place to place and i don't have to carry around a lot of books. i am able to carry my e reader on me and i can stop and read when ever i want to. i love when people stop and ask me about my e reader and how good it is and i tell them all about it.

nowadays, we have ebooks, internet news and magazine copies through the internet but I still believe that magazines and books will still be available. Technology makes it easier for us to read the latest news and books, however, there are still some people who prefer to have their own book copies. If you are a book lover, you would love to see all your books in one corner of your house. Right? :)

yes it has but it is strange how some avid book readers don't consider reading with the new technologies is as good or anything the same as reading a hard copy of a book, I guess in time it will all be considered the same, maybe.
