One of the major complaints against Facebook, Instagram and Android phones and all information technology is that they reduce the power of people's attention. The way people could give serious attention to any topic, now it is not possible to concentrate on a specific topic in the 'scrolling' and 'search' options. Earlier, lazy afternoon recreating a pillow with a handwritten book could have been pulled in one shot, now it is possible to read a half-page article if it is necessary to remove the two-line line.
That is to say, one thing must be acknowledged that all of us have had the habit of reading books or paper papers, etc., is almost completely discontinued. Everything we have now started asking for 160 characters on Twitter, everything should be in two or three lines. After reading a two-three-line fence, there was a paragraph and we were reluctant to read.

In order to bring the technology to our hands, our practice has become very self-centered. It was a half-hour book that had to be found out of the book, now it is coming out with a search on Google search bar. As a result, the taste of literary taste was dropped, and academics have no habit of reading books.

It can not be counted as to how big a loss it will be. The story book is not open with 101 entertaining hands. But in literature, one of the most useful things in the formation of one's mindset, that is, literary thing is much like the food of the mind. If the mind does not provide food and livelihood according to its needs, mind does not live, people die after being turned into a machine.

Again, academics and academics need to think a little bit. Remember, when the last time the books were made to the university's assignment or company report. Not only do the books go away, only the information is removed from the internet and many of the work. It may have been okay though, but without any research, it can be said that in most cases it is going to go to 'copy-paste'. That is, there is no issue in the originality.

This isolation of our mind and the practice of unproductive behavior is the practice of not reading our books. Due to lack of contact with literature, drying inside the mind drying the shelf condition. And academic studies have passed a semester after semester after having photocopy and printed presentation slides for the teachers, we have a vague knowledge to run the work.How big a loss it can be found is that in higher education abroad and in the workplace. If you talk to older brothers who are involved in higher studies abroad or related to work related issues, then what are the problems facing this shallow knowledge.

Another thing that everyone needs to realize is that all the information on the Internet is not reliable. Therefore, it is not possible to use any information from any site to cash in on the use of it.

Many people may suffer from this problem, while writing an assignment or report, can not understand what to write or how to start. In almost all cases, it is borrowed from a friend to borrow his own copy. However, if you go to the library without studying something half an hour or an hour, maybe your friend could write better than the report and your knowledge about it would be more transparent.
So reading the book is very important from many sources. One question comes to everyone's mind, how did the practice of reading the book happen? Is it just because of technology? Probably going to get answers to such questions, experts might have to go through the research. But in the general view, it is seen that there was a culture of reading books during our previous generations, our parents and they were encouraged.But in the last 30 years due to increasing pressure of education, increasing competition, guardians began to regard children reading books outside the textbook as prohibited, and in addition to the textbooks, the importance of the market note sheet started. And this is going to be an irreparable loss.

So whether the mindset or the academic knowledge, the book is always the key to success. Warren Buffett, the second richest and investing guru in the world, said so,

"Read at least 500 pages daily. In this way, knowledge has to be gained, which increases in the amount of compounded interest. If you want everyone can move on like this, but I can say with certainty that very few people will do it. "

That means, warrant Buffett also confirmed that many people will give advice, but at the end, very few people will accept it. Those who do not have the habit of reading, they have absolutely nothing to be disappointed. There are a few things that can be developed by reading books.
