|
|
|
|
|
<p>Reading books is perhaps one of the most valuable ways to obtain knowledge in this ever-evolving world.
|
|
|
|
|
With omnipresent digital devices and incredibly convenient purchasing, people find it easier to read books on screens than physical books.
|
|
|
|
|
I do not agree with this view.
|
|
|
|
|
Digital books have their own advantages but none outmatch the merits of a physical book.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Focus</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Physical books have no distractions, allowing you to get into 'the zone' much more easily.
|
|
|
|
|
With digital books, the reader can easily be distracted by something else.
|
|
|
|
|
A hint of boredom is all it takes to break your focus.
|
|
|
|
|
This is a high barrier for those already addicted to their devices.
|
|
|
|
|
Physical books allow you to focus like nothing else which is essential for absorbing the knowledge in the book.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Unbound By Time</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Physical books are not bound by time.
|
|
|
|
|
If you are reading a book on a screen, the battery can run out.
|
|
|
|
|
Humans have dreadful memory, which can lead to one forgetting to charge their device.
|
|
|
|
|
There is no external factor to worry about with physical books.
|
|
|
|
|
You just pick one up and start reading.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Technology Independent</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>All tech-savvy individuals know that no file format or storage medium lasts forever.
|
|
|
|
|
Proprietary file formats die when the company who made them dies.
|
|
|
|
|
If your book is in their file format, the money you spent is of no use.
|
|
|
|
|
To add to this, if you lose your device or your account, there is no getting your book back.
|
|
|
|
|
Physical books can be read centuries from now.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Experience</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The experience of reading a physical book is unmatched.
|
|
|
|
|
The smell of the pages, the scraping of your pencil when taking notes and the crisp pages refusing to turn all add to the experience.
|
|
|
|
|
There is no denying that a physical book has a tactile feel as compared to a tablet.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Self-Development</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Reading books physically is a proven method to developing yourself.
|
|
|
|
|
It helps you gain knowledge, reduces screen time and makes for a spectacular habit to implement.
|
|
|
|
|
If you want to improve your life, start off with books.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Sharing</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>It is trivial to share a book with a friend or relative.
|
|
|
|
|
This reduces one's dependency on money as multiple people essentially have a shared bookshelf.
|
|
|
|
|
Sharing information and empowering people you love the most is a wonderful way to employ a sense of connection.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>To truly absorb the information you are reading, read them physically.
|
|
|
|
|
There is a vast supply of untapped information in books.
|
|
|
|
|
I have started reading <a href="../library/">a plethora of books</a>, mostly on finance.
|
|
|
|
|
If you are a Muslim, this also includes reading the Qur'an as there are thousands of new pieces of information that you may come across.
|
|
|
|
|
<p>To truly make use of the books you read, read them physically.</p>
