I agree with Nancy Jo Sales.
She says,"Would my life in books have been the same if they had been coming to me via Kindle or iPad? I don't think so. There's something about the physicality of a book, the way it looks and feels and even smells--the notes written in the margins--that makes it a living, breathing companion (who, like yourself, is actually dying). I don't think books will ever disappear for this reason: We need them too much. They remind us that we exist; they show us how we have lived."
Evidence: The memory that you share with books are real. If books get replaced with the electronic ones, it would never be the same as a paper book. The electronic book wouldn't have notes in the margins to help you understand the text better. This is why paper books are important.
I hate Joe Meno.

I hate Joe Meno.
He says:
"The Kindle, the iPad, these are just variations of a need we
have as a civilization, as a species, to use our imagination, and this need is
as important in this time as any other."
WHY I HATE HIM: I hate him because his definition of books are wrong. Sitting on a screen and reading a book specifically makes a huge change. There are many distractions when you read a book on a screen compared to reading the book it self. If you read it on the phone, you will get a call and get distracted. On kindle, YOU WILL BE TEMPTED TO PLAY GAMES ON THE DEVICE.
To sum up, reading a physichal copy of a book is better than reading a book on kindle, or other electronic devices.
Good points about the distractions that devices can cause and about the notes in the margins.
ReplyDeleteWhen you disagree with other authors or writers, you don't need to "hate" them--stick to critiquing their ideas and offer evidence as to why your ideas are stronger.
I agree with the idea that you can get alot more distracted with reading on a device rather than reading a physcial book
ReplyDeleteI agree because reading a kindle would be very distracting. What happens if it dies? Then you have to go find an outlet, plug it in, and then get reminded about the battery charge every 5 minutes. I would rather just look at paper.
