Closing the Door on the Book Store
As many know Borders and Barnes and Nobles are closing all over. With the current economic crisis and the eBook readers it is hard to stay in business. Book stores are closing all over the country which is a sad day. No longer can you take your kids or just your friends to go look at books. You now have to find them on amazon and get them sent to your eBook reader. Some stores like Barnes and Noble even tried to compete with there own eBook reader the Nook and still there business declined 50% in the last tree years. We are looking at the dawn of a new era ran where even books are online. This will cause an increase in television watching cause not everyone can afford the $114 dollar reader, with no place to get a book they will have nothing else to do. This only helps in the dumbing down of society. Libraries are even slowly going digital with the ability to lend out eBooks.
There are a lot of advantages however of the eBook. Anyone can publish a book and there are over a million free books out there. You get your book right away and it is small and compact. You can get 3,500 books in a tiny device. All in all it is a great device and is well worth the price, but is it worth the cost of killing our stores and libraries? I guess only you can decide.
I just hate to see a world without a book store and am saddened by the day when we will no longer leave our house because everything is provided for you. Lazy America, go buy a book and read under a tree. Get off facebook and go bowling with a friend.
Technology is a gift, don’t make it one that rules your life!
