Some people think that books are losing importance as a source of information and entertainment. To what extent do you agree?
Although, books were a good source of information and entertainment in the past, some people believe that books are increasingly becoming less important as a source of knowledge and entertainment. I strongly agree with this statement for the following reasons: the invention of the internet and the introduction of different kinds of entertainment.
To begin with, people these days are becoming less dependent on books as a source of information. The invention of the internet has changed the way we gain information and knowledge because of the easy access to such information. In the past books were the only source of information but nowadays the internet has become the main source of such information. For example, a recent survey in the U.S. found that ninety per cent of people totally rely on the internet to gain information. As a result, books are becoming less important as a source of information.
Furthermore, books are also increasingly being deserted as a way of entertainment because there are many kinds of entertainment available these days. People are more interested in other types of entertainment such as playing football and swimming as they all are beneficial to our health. For instance, a study in Australia found that more than eighty five per cent of people prefer other ways of entertainment because of their health benefits. Consequently, books are losing their role as a source of entertainment.
To conclude, I absolutely agree that the importance of books as a source of information and entertainment is fading in today’s world. The invention of the World Wide Web and the introduction of other types of entertainment are the reasons for this argument.
