Today, in this age of technology and the prevailing 21st century, we are surrounded by artificial intelligence. The 21st century is the time where you can do anything without even moving from your place. It can be taking pleasure, enjoying leisure time, running a business, or acquiring knowledge. Everything is there on your computer, laptop and mobile phone.
You even don’t need to pay a visit to the library to read your favorite book. There are a plethora of books, magazines, e-books, newspapers, articles, news, and blogs on the internet. Just sit on your desk and switch on your medium of artificial intelligence. You are ready to go. Also, to add four stars to all this, we have heaps of social media platforms. But, have ever wondered? “ Is artificial intelligence giving artificial happiness to humankind?” Do you consider thinking about this question, I probably hope you will get an answer for sure.
You might have noticed, whenever we get some free time, we all are browsing in our mobiles. You and I, too, aren’t an exception to this. Some are checking social media, e-mails, news, watching videos, or playing games. I am not probably saying that stop using artificial intelligence, but you don’t need to get head over heels. Letting your happiness and pleasure go without any realization is the worst thing I believe.
Use your free time to gain more wisdom, to deep dive in an ocean of knowledge, and to explore the world. Consider reading a book. I know there are many things to learn over the internet. But, ask yourself.” Is there any kind of warmth and conversation while reading on the internet?”
Is reading books over e-books and articles worth?
You all might wonder that what’s the big deal in reading an e-book over a copyright book? Both are going to have the same content written by a similar author. Honestly, I too used to think the same. But, there is a lot different in both ways.
In this context, why talk about other individual’s experiences or surveys? Let me share my experiment with you. My friend and I started reading the same book. It was, ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad.’ The only difference was that I downloaded a pdf and started reading on my tab. In contrast, she bought the book from the library. We started on the same and finished on the same day.
Later, we took a quiz like a question and answer session. I thought that I had mastered the book and will rock on. But it was disastrous. My friend had understood the book in a much better way. It was as if she had a conversation with, ‘ Robert Kiyosaki ’ ( author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad ). I was entirely like a dumbo in front of her.
Here, you might say, I am speaking nonsense. Or simply tell yourself,’ But, I understood everything in the book appropriately.’ Let, I tell you, both your saying and thinking are wrong. I, too, used to think the same until I got a reality check. And, now, what I am advising makes sense.
What are the benefits of reading books in times of internet worth?
The difference between reading a copyright book and an e-book is minor. And that difference is emotions. This small difference is going to have significant consequences. When reading an e-book, the feelings coming in your heart and the feelings to be conveyed by the author are blocked.
