Today I want to try my best to persuade you why you should read books. It is a disappointment that nowadays people read books less often due to the widespread of technology Books were v hundred years ago, but with the invention of radio, television, and the Internet and computer games, people careless for reading books.However, once you complete reading a great written book it will have a great effect on it will motivate you to become a better person and increases your knowlage a lot and provide you with great inspiration. Some people argue that television in the present days is much more informative and interacting I agree on that to some extent. Television, on one hand, offers a colourful motion picture, whereas, the books, on the other hand allows you to think imaginatively with the characters in the book and their background story and the atmosphere that the story takes place.There are also people wondering why they would read from books rather than from online websites? spending hours reading from internet can cause you headaches and pain in your eyes, on the other hand books dosent cause you headaches nor problem in your eyes no matter how long you read except if you are reading it from a wrong angle .
Nicholas Carr and Clay Sharkey debate whether or not the internet is actually making us smarter or dumber. “Never has a communications system played so many roles in our lives- or exerted such broad influences over our thoughts, as the internet does today. “that is one of Carr’s viewpoints. Shirkey believes that “every increase in paperback book to you tube, alarms people accustomed to the restrictions of the old system, convincing them that the new media will make young people stupid. This fear dates back to at least the invention of movable type.” I tend to agree more with Sharkey because there are a lot of learning toold we can gain from the web.
Very few people write letters these days, they just feel it would be much easier, and make more sense, to send a brief text message, IM, or e-mail. Even though we feel more connected with others through the internet, we are still very far removed from one another. We aren't giving one another the full attention we should whenever we communicate via e-mail or text message. To make her point more noticeable between the difference of postal mail, and e-mail, Goodman uses very well-written imagery. “All the speed in the Internet cannot hurry the healing of a friend's loss.” Through these words, Goodman is trying to say that handwritten mail shows more feeling than an e-mail.
People fifty years ago, were able to survive without computer. So why is it that, these days we can’t live without them. And that when our computer crashes, we feel as though the world has come to an end? My first argument in favour of our dependence on computers is that computers can be very helpful in society and allow us to actually move further forward, and at a faster pace than we would without them. For example, from a freelance writer point of view, who works from home, their laptop or computer, is their workstation, which eases their whereabouts for when and where they want to work.
Short critical reflection Mary Gundersen INF 103 April 30, 2012 Erika McCulloch Short critical reflection Short critical reflection is as searching information with Google is like trying to find a needle in a haystack, and do I think it is true, that the library in the 19th century more efficient. Yes, I do think it is more efficient in the 19th century because back then they did not have the internet as we do today. If he or she has ever research in a library they would know that is very more efficient to look up information but, into today world we have the internet and it is deficiently a huge task not easy on search engines that he or she can choose from but not only Google is by far the most Famous. Nevertheless, each one is just a search engine and not a library. When individual logs onto the internet he or she may found a sense of information over kill since there is no filters in place to organize from the truth or the fiction of items that he or she reads, and Searching in a specific database, such as Ashford’s Library is different from searching in Bing, Google, and Yahoo.
Billboards, flyers, brochures, even the backs of receipts from purchases are advertising products the most current form of advertising is now internet ads but not everyone uses a computer. Newspapers use print media to emphasize a story and at times it is the pictures used that lure the person to buy the paper from the stand. Books are the oldest form of communication (Wilson & Wilson, 2001), but newspapers offer current information and advertising not found
With the proliferation of high-tech media, some people hold that the public libraries would be rendered obsolete if they do not offer software, videos or DVDs to their users while other assert it’s only a waste of limited resources and the libraries should offer books only. High-tech media is, in many ways, indeed superior to the books in terms of entertainment, attraction, and functionality. For instance, videos and DVDs function as a visual means to assist people to have a first-hand experience even though those people have not physically visited or seen the objects which are introduced in the books. Also, despite the audio-visual equipment would be prohibitive to install, the capital cost would be lowered by appealing to a sizable number of users. More importantly, software could assist the library goers to access the Internet to update their knowledge on a daily basis; in contrast, books typically take multiple months to be published, which in turn render their contents outdated to some extent.
If we lie all the time we will start to have a brain that is tailor made to make lying easier (Neulieb). It is evidence like this that has made people ask the question of what role the internet may have in changing the way our brain works. One of these questions that has been brought up a lot recently is how it is effecting the way we are learning things. The internet has taken the place of books for the most part because the internet is such a powerful tool that most people who are in school have access to. With all this access to information at an extremely fast rate books have become something that people look past because it seems too time consuming in the fast pace world we live in.
The magnitudes in the paper suggest that applying existing sales taxes to Internet commerce might reduce the number of online buyers by up to 24 percent. I. INTRODUCTION The extraordinary growth of the Internet in the last few years has led some to speak of the birth of a world without borders, a place where free communication, competitive markets, and extensive comparison shopping are a matter of course (see The Economist [1997a] and Hof [1998]). This apparent lack of geography in cyberspace, however, has raised some diflScult problems regarding government policy, especially tax policy, toward the "new" economy. Although online transactions currently make up only a very small fraction of total retail sales, predictions of astounding future growth have caused state policy makers to become highly concerned about the fact that most online transactions pay no sales or use tax.i Since the sales tax makes up the largest single component of state tax revenue, the growth of Internet commerce * I wish to thank Shane Greenstein, David Gross, James Hines, Peter Klenow, Steven Levitt, Charles McLure, James Poterha, Joel Slemrod, Michelle White, Alwyn Young, Jonathan Zittrain,
E -BUSINESS The founder of amazon.com studied the book market before choosing it as a starting place for amazon.com, but more importantly was his understanding of internet and willingness to invest in the latest internet technology to make shopping online faster, easier and more personally rewarding. Jeff Bezoz saw an opportunity that other booksellers couldn’t see, as observed in Business week “ what Bezoz understood before mostly was the ability of the web to connect almost anyone with any product , meant that he could do things that couldn’t be done in the physical world, such as selling 3 million books in a single store”. In a nut shell, Amazon.com gained the first mover advantage CONTINOUS INNOVATION Another success factor for amazon.com is the company’s ability to innovate. The words of saunders said that Amazon.com is “technology company” aside being a retail company. Bezoz knows that there are no sustainable technological advantages and it has to be an ongoing strategy.
