\section{Read Physical Books}\label{read-physical-books}
|
||||
|
||||
Posted on: \textbf{19 January 2024}
|
||||
|
||||
Category: \textbf{Literary}
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
\hypertarget{focus}{%
|
||||
\subsection{Focus}\label{focus}}
|
||||
|
||||
Physical books have no distractions, allowing you to get into
|
||||
\textquotesingle the zone\textquotesingle{} 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.
|
||||
|
||||
\hypertarget{unbound-by-time}{%
|
||||
\subsection{Unbound By Time}\label{unbound-by-time}}
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
\hypertarget{technology-independent}{%
|
||||
\subsection{Technology Independent}\label{technology-independent}}
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
\hypertarget{experience}{%
|
||||
\subsection{Experience}\label{experience}}
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
\hypertarget{self-development}{%
|
||||
\subsection{Self-Development}\label{self-development}}
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
\hypertarget{sharing}{%
|
||||
\subsection{Sharing}\label{sharing}}
|
||||
|
||||
It is trivial to share a book with a friend or relative. This reduces
|
||||
one\textquotesingle 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.
|
||||
|
||||
\hypertarget{conclusion}{%
|
||||
\subsection{Conclusion}\label{conclusion}}
|
||||
|
||||
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 \href{https://sufyaan.me/library/}{a plethora of physical books}, mostly on
|
||||
finance. If you are a Muslim, this also includes reading the
|
||||
Qur\textquotesingle an as there are thousands of new pieces of
|
||||
information that you may come across.
|
||||
|
||||
To truly make use of the books you read, read them physically.
