Being in the world wide web generation. Everything is searchable in the internet. And i think every little topic you can think of is posted on the net. That's why i spend most of my time in front of my pc. Researching every question i can think of even if its trouble shooting something or just keeping in touch in social networks. And for me books are being replace by informations i can get through the internet. do you think its good that books are being replace by the internet? because books really are good but we cut down trees to produce them.

True, but books don't lose power or crash or do any of the other things that computers do whenever there's a major storm. As for the trees? What many people don't realize that for every tree that's cut down, another one is planted in its place. Since that's the case, I say bring on the books. I can do without the Internet. lol

"for every tree that's cut down, another one is planted", this is true. but the ratio of trees that is being cut down is huge compare to the trees that are being planted. And the amount of time that trees need to fully grown can be very long. while cutting of trees just only takes a minute with the modern machineries. well i hope we can plant trees thrice as more than we cut them. maybe this way we would be worried that we will have tree shortage in the future.

Both good,but they are diferrent benefit.Internet is good fast, easy, save money and time to find informations,and often update data , but have only summary data.Books are good more information, but hard,expensive to transport for find, and not current data. Do you think, am i right?

Hey, Yea I think that the books are actually being replaced by the Internet. In some ways it is good because we can protect the trees, but in other ways it isn't because we waste electricity and ruin our eye site from a very early age. Make sure you have a good day, God bless and Happy Lotting!!
