Compared with the Internet,is reading out of date??

well,i tried several times bought ebooks but it wasn't as fun as i read book.

not really out-of-date but the frquency of how people read really decreased a lot...book still is the most important source of information

Reading can never be outdated! Of course, what you were reading on paper prints, you may be reading that on electronic screen. But nothing can substitute reading that is the foundation of study. Speaking of Internet, it serves like a vast library of diversified work and data collections, being accessed by electronic networking system using PC! But always, what I think, reading is reading. Nothing can replace it to feed information into our human memory. The more we read, more we are informed and also more dynamic we are in our actions in real sense. Thanks.

I don't think reading would be ever out of date. Still more people are not using the internet. Besides, we cannot bring the computer wherever we go and get connected to the internet anytime we like. Whereas the book or any paper can be easily opened and read anytime, anywhere, even in the comfort rooms. So internet cannot outdate reading.

I have always enjoyed reading a good book and it hasn't changed for me .I like to be on internet, learn new stuffs, hangout at Mylot ,but that doesn't affect my reading habits.I still find time to read fictional or non fictional books during my off hours.The internet doesn't stir up our imagination as a book does and the book is surely more thrilling than browsing.I don't think reading has gone out of style.

Basically, book is very important. But i have to admit that the introduction internet is the best sources of multi-informations that can not be taken even in thicker books. We have to admit that it is very accessible & searchable. Now,reading is my alternative means of accessing information before bed time.

i guess you can say that... I mean, more and more people prefer to surf the Internet rather than read books. Reading books was never a popular hobby even before computers were invented. And now that there's computers which are easily available in cybercafes and there is Internet service available as well, reading is probably considered the last resort or something, when there's no other way to entertain yourself or to learn about something. Sadly enough.

for me, reading could never be out of date.. i don't think you would be able to read a whole novel while staring at your monitor. the internet is just for quick reads but there are still factors that you would miss from reading a good book. are you not going to take hold of a copy of last harry potter book and just do the reading online (if available)?!
