With Bill Gates' dream of everybody having a personal computer progressively(用的好,学习了) comes true, reading without referring to papers, or using electronic books, becomes popular day by day. However, I disagree with the viewpoint that published books will totally disappear in twenty years. Just look at the office life(environment), although almost every desk has a computer, and the materials of a meeting will be send to each member ahead of time via emails, but quite a number of people attending the meeting would like to print them out on papers. Why? It's easy for them to take with. That's the same with a paper-based book, you can read wherever you are just with a simple action of opening it. On the contrary, if you want to read books through (in) a laptop, except for its heavy weight causing a big burden especially for girls, you should also take its electric requirement into account: what if the there isn't a electrical outlet? What if the system suddenly breaks up(down)? Besides, it also takes you quite amount of time waiting for its opening.
Some may argue that people may be more likely to read by mobile phones in the future, which can act as a portable media(前面用冠词a 对吗?应该可以吧,media是有复数形式的). I admit that it's even more evitable and lighter than books, but don't forget it's just a media, users can't write any notes or draw a graph beside the lines, which is a important method to help you learn the key point by heart. Obviously, this portable method is not convenient. J:w3l5s+q9yN
Moreover, reading with the paper-based books is a specific sign that reflects you taste. YiZhongtian, a famous doctor(这里的doctor用着感觉很奇怪) as a lecturer in a forum of China, said that reading books gives him a feeling of quietness. When smelled the fragment of printing ink from the book, feeling the tactility of each paper sheet (纸张是这么讲吗?), he got into a state of addiction and even forgot himself existence. As he said this, his rubbed his hands imagining the feeling of book paper. This action impressed me deeply, and makes me believe that most people who have a profound knowledge love to read books with the genuine published one(love the genuine touch of published books).
According to all the reasons above, I oppose the opinion that published books will totally disappear in 20 years. Adversely, I hold the standpoint that the colorful history of published books will never end. |
