"Computer will soon replace the Book" give your views for and against this statement?

Answer 1

I remember that's what Bill Gates said. It is true that old technologies are substituted by new ones as the typewriter was abandoned and cassettes are almost forgotten, but I believe (or I wish) this will not be so with books.
Certainly younger people would rather search in the Internet than go to a library, but you still get shallow information from it, while a student at a university level must consider information deep enough to require a book.
Also, books are collectible items, much more fun than files.

Answer 2

Well now you can read books online and you don't have to buy them so that's not too bad. However, I believe the statement is trying to reflect that all classic books will become obsolete. They had the same fear when movies started to make it big, saying that kids would watch the movie instead of reading the book. My teachers still made me read Hamlet etc... So if parents maintain a semblance of responsibility and teachers decide that it is important to teach children we will be o.k. however, I do not see that happening. Teachers and parents are getting lazier and children are following suit.

Answer 3

No way. Ever tried reading an entire book on a computer?

Books are here to stay.

Nothing beats reading a good book because I can't lie down in bed with the pc monitor.
