In the past two decades, there has been significant development in information technology, such as the World Wide Web. Thus, there is a growing concern regarding bookstores. While some individuals assert that paper books should be substituted by electronic books, others contend that these publications are a kind of heritage and should insist on it. In my perspective, I firmly support the papers for reading and conserving the nation’s inheritance.
Undoubtedly, the evolution of computer science makes life easier. Search engines such as Google and Yahoo can help people find any kind of information that they are looking for. For instance, if a person googles about data—these data are published in a foreign country—from his home, he can find what he wants and translate it to his native tongue with one click. Unfortunately, there is no faith in internet books because there is no regulatory body that can control and check the accuracy of knowledge in e-books. In other words, anyone can publish anything without peer reviewers. Additionally, manipulating history and facts could occur due to the absence of a controller and governor. Ultimately, various scientific searches proved the negative impact imposed by mobile and electronic devices. This hazard comes from radiation that is emitted from the monitor to the reader’s eyes.
On the other hand, the book aroma and paper touch have different influences on the reader. You can’t remember the date that you read this book; however, you can have a good memory of it.
In conclusion, I totally believe that advanced electronic libraries can’t replace or eliminate the importance of paper books.
