Hi lovely people,
It's actually sunny here being Wednesday and I trust you are all doing great. Today's topic seems to be like comparing two different generations however I will do justice to it as I understand the concepts. I salute all the protocol officers of this great noble community for their unfailing commitment to the weekly engagement.
This is my entry for week 38 edition 2. I will be supporting my write up with ebooks as my best reading materials.
What is ebook? This is simply put electronic Books. They are well typed, arranged and stored as soft copy materials in computer, phone, memory card, external drive etc or google drive. This books can stay for a long period of time without getting spoiled unlike the paper book requires good guide and storage facility which is devoid of termites etc.
The world is really advancing now and we are in the twenty first century which is also known as the computer age. In this century, the predominant tool for any communication or service provision is the information Technology. There's no any sector that this hasn't touched. Since the advent of ICT so many things has been improved hence great growth and development. I have not seen any sector that ICT hasn't covered or has no application.
When I was about rounding up my first degree program, I had the privilege to leverage on some ICT facility though as at that time ICT wasn't as rampant as it is now. To my amazement even accommodation provision for students couldn't be accessed manually again rather you had to go online to process. This is incredible for me because it has reduced some sort of corruption and increased orderliness in the entire institution.
Looking at the topic which focuses on the ebook and paperback. This I can boldly say that ebook is my favorite and I will outline some reasons to why I chose that.
- Ebook has really helped me to read anywhere because I don't need to have a hard copy document therefore I found portability. Ebook is more portable than the paperback because of its comfort and one can easily pocket like handset and other gadgets.
- Ebook can be compressed. No matter how voluminous the book is it can be gotten in a soft copy which is compressed into pdf and other format which makes it indestructible for a long period of time. Paperback can't be compressed and is too big to be carried about like encyclopedias, and other heavy textbooks.
- Ebook saves lots of time and energy. Infact , if you like you can just convert it to audio and play it while you handle other things. This will make you multi tasking in order to achieve different kind of results. The time required to flip through a paperback hmmm just a click you're already there in just a second. No much energy is needed.
- Ebooks are legible and conspicuous when reading. The font size can be adjusted to suit what you want in order to read unlike paperback that you may have to use some magnifiers like spectacle before you zoom any object.
- I like reading ebook because it makes my work very easy unlike paperback. I could remember when I was doing my final year project work, I had to surf the net and get useful materials which I used my system to align and arrange them respectfully. You can easily quote or copy and paste a write up which fastens your work.
CONCLUSION
I hardly buy hardly buy paperback books these days because the number of ebooks I have in my laptop can't be carried in my personal library shelf. I like ebook and I will always like to read it.
