why do we use books?

Answer 1

Reading expands your horizons, enlarges your vocabulary and develops your imagination. While watching movies and television is a fun diversion, it spreads the entire scene before your eyes and your imagination remains idle. Your imagination gives you the ability to "see" a scene inwardly and the more you exercise your imagination, the larger it grows. Consider that all the advances in science and technology have come from men and women with imagination. If they had either a limited or no imagination, they would never have been able to conceive of the possibility of - for instance - the "horseless carriage." The definition of imagination (The formation of a mental image of something that is not perceived as real and is not present to the senses) shows why invention comes from people with imagination and vision - both of which can be developed while reading.

Answer 2

We didn't alway have books, originally before the manufacture of paper on an industrial scale there were only illuminated manuscripts and bibles which were the above but all tied together. Of course there was papyrus etc and scraped skin which were used for documentation but no books. Basically you had storytellers who went around relating myths and legends passed down by word of mouth through the ages. When the printing press was invented it opened up a new era of production and then the storytellers day was done Hans Christian Andersen gathered all the fables and printed them and a new era was born.

All the above was a bit simplistic and probably historically inaccurate but I imagine it happened something like that. Please don't blame me as I am trying my best!!

Answer 3

Books satify a base desire of humans by enabling them to read. Reading allows a person to not only gather information for the sake of intellect but also to simultaneously visualize what they read with their mind and for some advanced readers actually place themselves inside what they are reading. Granted, with tech books this usually isn't the case but in general books are the epitome of information gathering and everything else essentially copies off this basic form of data which has been around for centuries. Even now, books are still in production because nothing can replace them. Its an invention that can't be improved because its at the top of its game.
