You Couldn't Be More Wrong

“Since everything is on the Internet, I don’t need books…right?”

Well you’re wrong if you agree with this. There will always be things that the internet cannot offer. Some things like old classical books like Emily Dickenson or William Shakespeare, you will never find on the internet in its originality. That is only something that you can hold and look at with your own eyes. Staring at a computer screen reading something doesn’t seem amazing as reading it; you will never find and experience the magic that reading the book and flipping the pages will offer. Some people who have never experienced such a joy may not understand this, but as someone who has spent their childhood reading books, I don’t like reading things off the computer screen where everything seems so bright and fake. I enjoy sitting in a nice comfy bed of pillows in front of the fire place smelling the wood burn, as I imagine the world that has been created for me—with a computer I would never be able to experience that.

It’s easier to gather some information from a book because at least you don’t have to worry about someone changing the information to fit their likes. On the internet people will edit whatever they want to fit those needs, if they feel the book doesn’t agree with them. Sometimes the things on the internet are completely wrong and many people may not care about the issue. So yah in the end you do need a book even though there’s the internet—that way you know the information is correct from the source.
