I saw in a movie that in the future people are able to find books only in the museum. Is this a prophecy?

I doubt that will ever come to pass as the human (individual) imagination is better than any movie (yes, even YouTube).
Read a book then go see the movie (I do this often)... is it the same as you pictured it or was your interpretation of the author's words different from the director of the movie.
Do you feel like something is missing from the movie after you have read the book and seen the movie?... people will never stop reading books just like they didn't stop going to the movie theatres when the VCR (remember BETA) came out.

I always find that the book is better than the movie. A few examples: Da vinci code, Harry potter series...

No...Internet is other way of learning!...Books are still there!...Books are very useless especially in the schools!...It serves as their references of their topics or subjects!...lolz

Yeah maybe we can say that internet has overcome the need of books. There are several reasons behind that. Books costs you alot and internet is much much cheaper then it. The most important point is its fast accessibility. Children also prefer internet in comparisons of book.

There is an increase in awareness among the people about reading books. The increase in book fairs says it all. Not everyone has access to the net. It is important for parents and teachers to stress the need to read from paper as there is no comparison to it.

chances are it realy is going to be that way. the rate at which books are becoming the 'second' preferance in reading matterial is 'astounding' to saty the least.. but it will probably take another genration ot two...
