THE whole world has congratulated the computerization and it is an era of computers. The countries that have started late are repenting as they, for some reason or other, have to remain in the back benches. It is really a wonderful world ornamented with pc and notebook and printer and scanner and internet. It is a new addiction very much powerful than alcohol, one may say. We have different provisions in the new world -- news and films, communication and education, job-markets and matrimonial, personal web sites and various websites of great reputation and finally games and varieties of games.
Still there is reason to be disappointed. The computer, our new magic and therefore our top favorite, has done considerable damage or has been set to do so. This I am writing with the anxiety that it has changed my reading habit. I have been changing my decision while thinking of purchasing new books. I do still have such habit. This wonderful new friend has been insisting on me to maintain a distance from my favorite books because I have been set in such a state that I do not have enough time within the 24 hours of day and night. I wonder if the computer will finally compel us to bid the books goodbye.

I fear that you are right, although not perhaps for our age cohort. I see the value of computers, but I realise that my son's generation (2 behind mine, I sired him fairly late) gets more from their compouters and allied technology than I can even conceive, so books, I think, will become the refuge of the eccentric.

I hope not. I use my computer every day but I still love reading books and I do that every day as well. I belong to a local library and we borrow books ever week. We read all the time. I love reading books set in the past and seeing a world that was much less complicated. It had its own problems but it makes me think that we have made this world too busy, too stressful and too demanding. We have not changed that much as human beings but the demands on us as human being has increased immensely. I think it is sad and sometimes I long for the simplicity of the past.
