There are many who believe that the traditional books are being phased out in favour of the computers. Perhaps in the future we'll read all our novels on a screen, perhaps not even moving our eyes to read. I am going to show you some opinions that are totally different.
"Norwegian Phoenix" will be debating on the side of computers.
"Justcallmeadam" will be debating on the side of books.
Side of computers:
Technologie that for only ten years ago seamed impossible is now an important part of the modern community. Comptuers are getting more and more advanced and it has now been built computers with 1000 gigabyte (one terabyte). An earlier problem with computers was their size and prize, they was to large and to expensive, but as time has gone they have shrinked both in size an prize. In the future we will proboly have computers with tons of terabytes, so small that you can put it in your pocket, which only cost you 5 dollars.Computers are not only more practical than books. Just think of all the trees that will be saved. Computers are the future and will be an important part in future community.
Side of books:
Computers and the Internet, both with their own great storage capacities, are threatning to "endanger" books and the written/printed word. For hundreds of years, people have sat down, read, and have been amazed by what they found in the pages of that book. Not only are books more convienent size-wise, but they're also less trouble to worry about. All this trouble is really unnecessary when you're only trying to connect to the Internet so you can read the lastest John Grisham book. I'll agree that the Internet can be helpful for most quick information but, many users find that when they enter a simple topic into a search engine they come up with 121,432,68 sites that have everything but what they were looking for. With a book, all you would need to do for that particular question is to go to the section of the library that has information and look up the answer to your question. To summarize, the Internet may be easier to access (if you're at home, that is), but sometimes it's either a bother to go to, or more frustrating than simply finding out the answer in a book.
MY OPINION
I think that technology and computers are great, they have made our lifes easiler in many ways. Internet is a world wide web plenty of information and I think is much more practical than searching for somethimg in books. But in other side I think that books are also entertainig and you can feel many things that you can't with computers.
People think that if you like reading books you can't have fun with computers, but it's not like that because there lots of people that love new technologies (like our english teacher Maria) and also read a lot!
