Computers vs. Books

According to an OfSTED The link between books and achievement, however, does come with a lot of conclusive evidence. This is perhaps unsurprising to you and me, but rather worryingly not to the leader of the study, Malcolm Dixon, who commented that ‘It is surprising that books matter.’

There are many who believe that the traditional book is being phased out in favour of the computer.
The reason I question the prevailing view is that as a child, my friends and I envisioned a world of the not-too-distant future in which we read all our novels on a screen, perhaps not even moving our eyes to read.

My opinion:

I think that all books can be available to everyone on the Internet, but it is always more pleasant to have it in their hands.
