when i was in secondary school and college, i like reading soo much and i'm willing to spend a lot of money to buy book and magazine . But nowadays, people especially student, they are not read but they surf internet to get information. even people now prefer to surfing than buy book to read. how about you my friens?

internet can give us so much information in just a snap...maybe some students are having trouble in reading a book before they can find the information they needed because when they use the internet, detailed information will be shown and they don't have to spent too much time to read the article in order to find what they are looking for. but i guess buying and reading a book is better than relying in the internet. you can keep a book with you in a long period of time and it can be accessible anytime. on the other hand, when we use the internet, some people doesn't have there own computer and internet connection. they have to pay an amount that can only benefit them in a few minutes or hours. if they invest in new books, it can be useful to them anytime, anywhere and everyday!

I prefer to hold a book. There is something about holding a book with pages that make a difference when it comes to reading. Besides with a book I do not have to worry about being distracted with alerts and or pop-ups.

Yeah, i think so too because i think that reading in the internet is much cheaper and less of a burden than going to the store and buying one. On the other hand, reading the real book is better than just reading on the screen, because you couldn't really put small notes or write something on screen.
