RE: Motorcycle Travel Series by @velimir 'Travelling Library' (Part #313)

in #travel7 years ago

I did not know that there are such "mobile libraries". At least here where I live I do not. I think that this is a great idea when you can come to such a "mobile" library and take the book for rent. Graduate knowledge will always be valuable. But there is another factor ...

I'm sad to realize that people have become less likely to read books. No reading has become more popular but it's reading in the screens of monitors (computers, smartphones). Books become less popular and they are replaced by fashionable ways of obtaining information. I fully agree that in our time the information has become public. Many people can find out any information even without leaving home. This is a great achievement of mankind. But along with this people are "saturated" with information. If earlier we tried to become smarter due to books, now people have become lazy. It is a fact. You know that in your hands all the information that is available to humanity and you spend time watching useless videos or reading gossip.

In this sense, the books were more interesting. You took the book and wanted to read it. Now you download the book from the Internet but do not read it. (this does not work with everyone). I remember those days when I took a book in the library. I was sitting by the lamp in the evening and reading a book. It was really interesting. I was not distracted by messages on social networks and other information. It was a great time.

Change is inevitable. You need to be able to find positive in any situation. You teach us this.
I liked the photos and your text. Thank you
