Because computers have a built in obsolescence, does that stop society from going completely digital with books?

 

It’s obvious that the most popular resource for information is the Internet and technology. The transition from book to web is rapid and all encompassing, but there is a slight hesitation to give up completely on books.

Computers are reliable and quick, but when they fail and or break down, the fragility of information and reliance on technology is often frightening to those who depend on it. When the Internet fails and I can’t get to a file or web page I needed or when my computer dies out from old age, it’s unsettling how helpless I become with the resource cut off. With that being said, books have become the archaic necessity in our times. Also, some prefer holding a book with a binding and reading from paper then reading an Ebook or Kindle. Some personal preferences won’t change, even though a majority of books are vanishing into the web.
