The books and the technology

Recently, I read about the fact that books could be dying. Although the statistics show us that this can be true, it is a sorrowful situation. Unfortunately for people that love books like me, we are seeing the generations forgetting the importance of the knowledge within the books and exchanging the habits almost in 100%, making searches and queries exclusively on internet. It is a sad finding.
In fact, it is almost unavoidable to use internet and the tools nowadays. I am not arguing if this is totally useless. Instead of that, we should find the information, and they come quickly and efficiently on the internet. Frankly, it is more easy and practical to use this kind of technology.
Why do we need books then? The first argument we need to realize is the fact that books have knowledge written a long the time and have the power to teach and prepare the human beings for life. Are there other forms to have knowledge? Of course. Nowadays we have computers, kindles, tablets, i-Pads, i-Phones and many other devices. Although antique people don't have complete interest in some of them, frankly, they also are absolutely important. At the other hand, I also believe to be a mistake see the original books like worthless things. In my point of view, it is incredible to have some books waiting to be read at your bookcase. It is awesome to know that you can find yourself in one good book. You can learn, imagine, to have emotions, and live some hours without technologies and devices to disturb you.
Undoubtedly, I can imagine the people living in the future without books. Without the pleasure to grab some paper with a lot of good words, smelling the old or new pages and having a great deal of time traveling in long texts. Maybe in the future, we will not have the libraries like we have nowadays, or the opportunity to get in one bookstore and spend long hours reading, searching and looking around inside that magnificent place. Although we also have people carrying books nowadays, this scene seems to be inconstantly than in the past. Actually, it is more common to have people handling electronical devices, even sometimes unaware about the others.
Summing up, we lovers of books, what will we do in the future? Maybe fight to avoid the death of our best friend or surrendering to the new technology. Honestly, we will always feel a lack of  an awesome book and to be hopeful with this new world.

Nice week...
