Will modern technology, such as the Internet ever replace the book as the main source of information? why?

Answer 1

Yes. Think about the quantity of information from the Internet and how easy it is to search and find something on the Internet, comparing to books.

Answer 2

I think that more then likely not. Even though you can gain a world of information at your fingertips through the computer, there is nothing like the feel and smell of a book. Books do not need a power source, can be tossed around without the fear of severe damage and if a book gets wet it still functions, among other advantages.

Answer 3

well seems by u saying why you might think yes, but the thing is that the internet without pornography, and explicet laugage, is the only unlimited source of knowledge because its not like schools around the world are going to say read everything on the internet, for grade 12 gratuation diplomia like its a black hole so to speak, everyday theres more updates info on everything, on the internet, but the only reason that i can see that it probably wont is because of eye sight, if every school let the computer screen dominate the books, one thing if ur used to having everything close to ur eyes u have near sightedness and than everyone has glasses and or contacts for everyday living, so i will say the internet is more likely to be a secondary source for updated situations like history cant change when it is already history, and math cant change much more, and biology can still change , and science can change , and honestly, im talking more about books in schools, but reading in general, well the old fashion way will always will be the way because of its portable fashion, and no accessaries are needed, like a battery for a laptop for instance . just to read a book and plus no monthly fees for connection to interent to read a book.....well i tried to keep it short and quick, hope it helped in whatever you were wondeering
