When our homeroom teacher asked us who is what book read the last half of the class is silent, and the second half refers to the work that we pass on literature. To read books as that would become unfashionable. Before the public transport could often come across people reading the road book. Now all the phones in the hands of the leaf strips in their social networks.
Of course, technology is good. I am a supporter of the Internet, myself love to try it out. And that's what I noticed. Information in the modern world tends to a minimum. That is a lot of information, but the reader wants to get her dosed. Therefore, in Vogue small posts on social networks. Read the sentence or two and keep looking. If a little more – we don't want to read, we are lazy. What to say about a book.
But, of course, reading in itself is not going anywhere. Is a restless youth, in their majority, do not want to devote an hour or two reading books. The older generation reads more readily. But there are its own peculiarities. Very many have completely abandoned the simple printed book. More and more people prefer e-books. Of course, it is very convenient. No need to go to the library, no need to spend money to buy it. Downloaded and read even at home, even at school, though on the road. And audiobooks? Even not necessary to read – go to school and listen.
I too often resort to the help of the Internet to read this or that book. But I do it without much pleasure. Because, in my opinion, nothing can replace the paper version of the book. I guess I'm not modern but I love to read printed book: flip through pages, bookmark where I stopped. For me always a holiday to go to the store and buy a new book.
So I'm sorry in the modern world the role of the book fizzles. Reading people is always an interesting conversationalist. I wish my peers were not only read posts on social networks, but also classical and modern writers.
