The Internet has made society not have to leave their homes. This can be a good thing in some ways but bad in other ways. It is good if you are physical unable to leave your home without assistance, but bad for some buisnesses. Bookstores are one of the many businesses that are affected. While I was thinking about going to the bookstore the other day I realized that there is only one left that is near me. I used to be able to pick from three different book stores. Books are being replaced by nooks and other technical devices. Even school books are now either on CD's or school websites. I personally like going to a book store and roaming around for a few hours. I take comfort in it. Even though I do own a nook it is only because my sister gave it to me and I rarely use it. The Internet is making it so that you do not have to have a physical book in your hands or go to the book store to pick up the latest novel. All you have to do is down load it from a website now. To me it seems that the internet is making books obsolete. So what will happen if all the book stores close?
Love the photo! I think this is interesting commentary and probably fun to vent!
ReplyDeleteIt is truly a sad future when books would line up the shelves in peoples homes and are now replaced by handheld lightweight technology, it seems to me that within two decades from now the only books you will find would be located in a museum.
