Question

one that convinces me gets 10 pionts!

Answer 1

The computer will never replace the book.

1) The computer monitor burns the eyes, a book don't
2) Mobile computers will never be as easy to use.
3) The Home Computer will never be able to be picked up and taken to another, more comfortable seat for long reading.
4) The computer does not show a full page comfortably.
5) In order to read the text (as I write this answer) the text is 2 to 4 times bigger than I could read from a book.
6) For studying and reading purposes, being able to work from a book is much more comfortable.
7) Regarding reading, the computer is better for research, but for long reading, a book is less tiring on the eyes, neck, hands arms, and back.

8) Even if we print the book our selves, we will still prefer the reading from paper than a computer monitor.

Answer 2

I think the computer cannot replace the book because a glowing monitor simply does not have the appeal of dead trees. The computer can transform the definition of what is a "book" to include ebooks or the like, but most people will still desire to "read" something that is technologically older in most cases.

For most of human history, any and all art has been actual as opposed to virtual. I am not against advances in technology. I'm not a Luddite. However, who can honestly claim the same emotional attachment to ever-changing strings of ones and zeroes as to tattered pieces of Beowulf? There's no human struggle involved in the storing of virtual data. It's not interesting if data die due to power failure or a failed hard disk.

Books will be treasured because they can eventually decay into star stuff. We are all star stuff, and eventually return to the ashes from which we came. The computer is a lie, then, because digitization pretends to be rendered forever, when, truly, it must also obey the laws of entropy and die.

Crap, now I'm depressed.

Answer 3

The computer has somewhat already replaced books in some venues. Computer documentation, instructions, etc is in PDF format, most business communications is via email with attached documents, and there are many ebooks available as well.

The method to read these? PDA's, tablet PC's, your computer, etc. Phones will soon probably carry this feature as well, surprised no one has thought of it yet (instead of music...books). The transfer of data digitally is instantaneous, and allows many to share it, one day all things might be digital.

Having said that, there will always be paper copies of important works, and authors will always want a "hardcopy" of their books for their libraries, as well at public libraries. The way of the book is not lost, it's still alive and kicking. We have made changes on what needs to be printed and what doesn't, but for some it's always the feel of real paper in their hands that gives the true meaning to a story. Knowing you can pull it from the shelf and read it over, and over. A computer screen just isn't the same, and reading it for long periods sometimes starts to bother the eyes, although I have had books do the same (when really tired and couldn't put it down).

I am for digital copyrighted books, and for printed books. :)

Answer 4

i am against it for these reasons 1. it will be very expensive to get access to it. 2. how many people are literate enough to go through the computer, 3. there is no enough power to read the publication on the computer, 4. mobility problem, books can easily be taken to places while the easies computer that can be carried about is the laptop, 5. extra period to learn how to operate the computer even after been educated, waste of time.

Answer 5

computers will never replace books!! A true book lover will never have the same feeling of satisfaction that you get from turning pages and curling up with a good book on a chilly night with a hot cup of tea or cocoa! It just does not compare! Even the smell of books is part of the experience of reading ! You can't line your bookshelves, with downloadable books.

Answer 6

The computer will not be a good choice to replace books as power may fail, or hard drives crash, thus denying access to written treasures.

In a sense, computers deny us the skills to search or look something up. Deny us knowledge, as in the Bible - where is Revelation found? Just search for it on the computer - it will find it!

Answer 7

properly you may now examine books online and you do no longer might desire to purchase them so because it extremely is not too undesirable. whether, i think the assertion is making an attempt to mirror that each and every person classic books will grow to be out of date. that they had an identical concern while video clips began to make it vast, saying that toddlers might watch the action picture quite of examining the e book. My instructors nonetheless made me examine Hamlet and so on... So if mothers and fathers look after a semblance of duty and instructors choose for that that's needed practice toddlers we can be o.ok. whether, i do no longer see that occuring. instructors and fogeys are transforming into to be lazier and toddlers are following journey.

Answer 8

sure, I can see that. Instead of a library card, you get a little book sized display that is linked to the main library and you could get any book they had at any time. Cool. I could save a lot of space if I could store all my own books on a single book sized device.
