Why would you read a book !
-
A friend of mine was arguing that nowadays you can find all the information online, why would somebody buy a book ? He also claims that, printing will be dead in 10 years Well I think a book is better because, 1. It gathers all the related information together 2. The layout is in a way which is easier to understand 3. Information on the web can be inaccurate 4. Searching for information on the net can take time, a good book give you all the required information at a single place 5. A book also teaches way of doing things in a unique author's style, who can be experienced on the subject Which one would you prefer, a book, rather than searching information online or vice versa and why?

1. You're way out in the country and they're out of toilet paper. Laptop? Do me a favour! :~ 2. The two of you research the Kama Sutra. Online? Do me a favour! Where do you park the mouse? :sigh: 3. Try reading on-line for six hours during a power failure, by candle-light. :mad: 4. Try taking your laptop tramping... :zzz: You are inevitably led to the conclusion that this is a dubious debate and the book is only contested by the illiterate. ;P
