“The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.”
― Mark Twain
With the onset of technology, the old medium of knowledge "Books" have certainly taken a back seat. Initially radio....Then TV (The Idiot box - Rightly said)....and now Youtube, Kindle , wikipedia ....and many more such visually appealing apparatus has taken the lime light away from the good old books.
It seems todays youngsters believe theres more appeal in watching Youtube or reading Wikipedia to gain knowledge rather than reading books, some even think its a waste of time.
What do you guys think?
My generation grew with books in our hands and even our elders used to encourage us to read more, so that the wise words percolate into our subconscious, improving not only our vocabulary but adding colours to our personality.
It is believed that travelling and reading have an equal effect on ones personality development, it provides insight into great depths of knowledge which a visual medium such as youtube will ever provide.
Though the visuals of youtube and such other sites is inviting and visually appealing, it cannot match the power of brain and its imagination which happens when one reads a book and is fully engrossed into it. One must also understand that reading good books have an lasting impression while watching videos may not have lasting memories(Try it im sure you will understand what I mean).
So guys revert back to the wonderful habit of reading and you will be a different person all together, a more learned version of yourself.
let me know which books have you read recently or planning to read soon.
