In our contemporary world, the majority of people like to view books on their electronic devices in comparison to their physical forms. This essay will first discuss how user-friendliness is one of the primary causes of it and secondly, the dire ramifications it holds for libraries in the form of them being closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The primary reason for the growth in the trend of viewing books digitally is how easy it is to find a book online as compared to its paper form. With advancements in the field of science and technology, we can view any book written by a not so famous author that would otherwise not be available in the local book shop. For example, with websites like Google Books and Amazon, one can directly download or view novels that would not be found in the local library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Turning\nto its adverse outcomes, this development has negative implications for\nlibraries in a way that most people would abandon them. It would not make sense\nto waste valuable resources and efforts to visit libraries when all of the\nbooks would be available to us in our homes with all the comfort in the world.\nThis will eventually result in libraries being shut down. Phagwara, my hometown\nin Punjab is a prime example where a public library was closed recently because\nit was not being utilized by the general public when e-books were introduced\nhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In conclusion, the demand for books in the online form can be attributed to how convenient it is for the reader to get any book and ultimately, it will have negative consequences for traditional places of reading, such as university and public libraries, resulting in them being closed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
