lee was asked whether e-comic are going to replace real comic, he replied by
saying that comic is a lot like boobs, you like them when you see it on the
screen but holding one or two is definitely preferable. Well, Mr. Professional
Cameo, I have to say I agree with you in boobs but not in books (surprisingly
rhyme).
I
was wondering which one is better e-book or paper book (real book gives
impression that e-book is not a real book, but you know what I mean). Each of
them has their own plus and minus. I think all of us remember the Feeling of
touching the surface of the cover, the smell of it moreover if it is a new book
that you bought from the bookstore, and the sensation of flipping each of its
paper. Nothing can beat the feeling, yes I also feel it.
But
you know, for greater good shifting to e-book would be a better option that
bookworm should embrace. Why? I have to admit that those feeling from paper
book are beyond comparison, and I also afraid to lose the sensation, yes I am a
bit fragile. But, think about the efficiency that you might get.
The
thing is, everyone is holding gadget every time, even on the bathroom
(especially on 9gag). This need of speed or should I say this addiction to
gadget should be use to make more people read because more people are holding
gadget than a book. You know books are heavy, books are for smart people, and
books are for old people (some people opinion) and people are lazy.
The
changing of people’s behavior to a “speed worshipper” demands a change in our
reading habit. I am talking about, the gadget, the fast nature of internet, the
demand to show off on twitter by quoting sources, and so on. All of this
behavior need speed or have something to do with speed and people love being
fast. Being fast to know, being fast to show, and being fast to share.
Rather
than sharing things from unknown sources which gradually makes internet a messy
and full of lies places. Quoting books will be much more trustable and reliable
(and of course smartable if it is a word). It would be un-fast if I have to
find all the books i want to quote while I want to share everything, every
time, and everywhere.
More
importantly as a student, I sometimes need to work fast and I sometimes even use
my phone to work on a paper (as a lazy student I sometimes forget to work on a
paper until the last minute it need to be submitted). Here e-book comes in handy,
by storing several of e-book on the phone I can finish my paper in time.
If
you reach the end of this paper, I am really sorry this paper is not about
boobs, I am just testing the use of flashy title to get attention. Thank you:).
