Nowadays, almost everyone could afford to have computer as a cutting edge system in replacement for recording data but books are still used so widely. I wonder, Why?
But I guess and I think there are Pro and Contra about it. I Think Computers are becoming the common things to us in this generation. How about that? More and more talks about computers are in right now. Even mobile phone is a computer. However, Personal Computer is not that cheap compared to book.
Computers offer a wide range of uses. We could track all the data in one computer, transferring data are much easier and faster and we could gather as many data as we want as long as our storage data is not full.
We could bring it also anywhere we want to as long as there is a power source or the battery is still available.
On the other hand, books are cheaper if compared to computer. They do not depend on any power source and it will never corrupt compared to computer unless the readers themselves want to do so. We could bring it anywhere provided how thick is the book and how willing is the reader. Books could be preserved from generation of generation.
Furthermore, reading is basically introduced to early childhood through books and not by computers ,However, book lovers have become less and less nowadays because of computer technology. The book market is evidently getting weak.
Book sales are displayed the whole year round to revive the interest of the public to get hold of it. I commend an English teacher in first year at ERIS ., Miss Ofelia Trinidad because she created a Reading- Friendly Center at the second floor of Neptali A. Gonzales Building .
Although computers are very “in” right now and almost everyone is addicted to it ; for me , books are still the best way to keep and store our data. However , personal computer is one of my tools to track and gather all my data that I needed while I am still alive.
Finally, let the bible verse below enrich our desire to become righteous .
