The face of education changes over time. Education hangs by a thread because as technology advances, some individuals do not take education seriously like others. It's easy for some people to go online and find answers to their problems, but it takes a smart person to read and find the answer. This seems to be the problem today. In addition, people do not read their books and acquire less and less intellectual knowledge, which undoubtedly harms our society. Books should be read because they contain important information that will enlighten people's intelligence and not bother their heads like the internet. Thanks to websites like Google or Spark Notes, books are known but not read. In just a few seconds we are able to find an answer. But what's the point of getting the answer if you don't learn? That's what's different about the books. You have to read to really find the answer. You will never be smart if you don't read. No matter where you study, you will need to read books, which is a good thing. Throughout your education, books will be helpful in gaining a better understanding of education. Teachers don't make you buy books just to torture you. They make you buy them because they know they will not only help you learn from them, but also gain more knowledge for the future. Not all books are boring and there are all kinds of books. They vary from primary sources to secondary sources to fiction and non-fiction. Some authors make their books interesting so you don't get bored. It's good to learn from books because they don't lie like some things on the internet during...... middle of paper...... find the answer that allows you to acquire knowledge. We can't stop technological advancements, but we can start enriching our minds with more books read. This not only benefits you, but also our company. Think about it. A person can read their books and get A's in their classes, or you don't read and fail the classes, making your college dropout percentage more effective. Once you read a book, you can share your knowledge with the world and spread it. Next time, before you pick up a gamepad or remote, pick up a book and start reading it because a book is a blessing.
