- books have more of an ability to motivate and inspire its readers. Books can spread motivation by
sharing knowledge that makes readers perceive the world in a new way. Books also spread positivity
amongst the readers as it helps reduce mental pressure.
-Technological devices should not replace books because technology devices can cause health
problems, it also expensive, and books improve learning much more than technology. In fact using too
much time on technology devices can cause health problems.
-Unlike computers/technology, books do not take much time to load, and they can carry with us
anywhere we go. 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.
1. Social media is unproductive use of time as it only entertains you and gives no food for thought.
2. The amount of education you get from it is very less compared to reading books.
4. Most of the time is spent in searching what others are doing, which can be well spent in reading which
atleast adds knowledge to your own life.
5. Another prominent example can be the usage of 'new' abbreviations to express oneself on the social
media. This hampers the language development which in turn affects writing and reading both.
6. Due to the fast-changing content on such websites, the attention span of the readers has reduced. So an
important habit of thinking over a thought, giving it time to percolate in your mind, is reduced to a great
extent. This is one of the benefits of the book. Books cultivate the capacity to understand and think.
7. Good reading habit makes way for a better understanding of one's experiences however social media
mostly indulges the cravings of people rather than what is good for them.
8. The role models who the teens follow too are more active on the social media. Teens try to emulate
them.
Easiest to lose and destroy. Notebooks are easy to destroy by tearing a page or erasing too much, water
damage, your dog ate it, etc. They can also be easy to lose and notebooks are often misplaced.
No backups. Unless you scan it or copy the notes, there are no backups, and you have one copy that if
destroyed is gone forever. Also, scanning and copying notes takes more of your valuable time that you
could use to study the material. This is the riskiest option overall in terms of note safety.
Difficult to correct mistakes and customize. Erasing can be somewhat challenging if you have a lot to
erase as some of the writing can remain on the page (just faded) or you might rip the whole page with the
force of the eraser. Also, to use many colors or highlight, you must buy additional pens and highlighters.
These items are almost never erasable when put on a page as well. These reasons make customization and
corrections very difficult.
Archiving can be difficult. Instead of all your notes stored in one device, it is likely if they are paper that
your notes are in several notebooks. Notebooks can accumulate greatly over time resulting in a bunch of
old notes that you are not sure if will use again and takes up a lot of space. Also, since they are not digital,
specific notes about a specific concept can be very challenging to find since notes are not named, tagged,
or able to be searched.
Writing can be time consuming. Writing takes longer than typing.
