Books vs Computers

 Introduction :
The topic of this report is the debate between “books vs computers” that has been going on for
a long time and with more technology in the world than ever, that debate won’t end anytime
soon. Tablets, smartboards, and other technologies continue to make their way into the
classroom as learning tools for students. Moreover, we cannot even say that only books or
computers are important as both of them have their individual advantages and
disadvantages. Let’s discuss in detail.

 Background :
On the one hand, digital life using a computer for personal and business has become really
effective where more and more people are buying and using them. From Government to private
sector, Doctors, Students, Teachers everyone uses a computer, therefore computer users are
constantly growing.
On the other hand, books provide past histories that transfer valuable information, and ancient
generation has survived with books and maintaining their history alive. The first important thing
about every school is teaching of reading books to the students. Simultaneously improve
speaking and writing, especially writing by hand, not typing on a computer

Uses of Computers:

 Kids Usage : We use computers for various purposes, such as for kids to play games,
watch funny cartoon videos and use drawing tools, etc. Moreover, it also helps them to
learn about shapes, numbers colors, etc.

 For Education : Today many schools and colleges use computer and internet technology
to teach students creatively and digitally along with data visualization. Computers allow
students to access any information they want.

 For Income Generation : Some people grab the opportunity to make income through
computers in their spare time, whereas for others computer can help to start their own
business and be their own boss. Furthermore, computers enable employees to work from
home which saves time as well as some expenses for their travel.

Uses of Books:

 Books can be recycled : You can give it to friends, exchange them at a used bookstore,
discard them in the recycling bin.

 As a Gift : Most of us even gift book as a present which helps to express how much we
value the other.

 Books Teach us Valuable Points : Books will help you to gain moral values by reading
the books written by saints and famous people. These types of books teach us about the
right moral values of becoming a good human being.
  Findings :
 The highest percentage of readers by age was 88 percent, among the 18-24 age group,
followed by 86 percent in the 16-17 range. Readers in the 30-39 group were a close third
at 84 percent. The lowest percentage of readers was among people older than 65, at 68
percent.

 According to the NOP World Culture Score Index, India is the country that reads the
most, with over 10 hours per week. Thailand and China are second and third, with 9.24
and 8 hours per week respectively.

 One study showed reading reduces stress by 68 percent, more so than listening to music,
having a cup of tea, or taking a walk.

 About 45% of the world uses computers. In 2019, there were over 2 billion computers in
the world, including servers, desktops, and laptops.

 China has the highest number of internet users in the world, with over 748 million users.

 Conclusion :
I think for me both computer and book has equal importance and it depends on us how we use
them. Realistically, we cannot live without modern technologies, but computers will never
replace books. However we should also not forget the existence of books as there is saying
that stones can never replace diamonds. Most of us need to have a clarity for choosing what we
need instead of what is available to us.
