Reading Revolution-2

We live in a world that is constantly changing, and the way we read is no exception. The excitement you have when you get a new book and the suspense that comes with every page turn is something magical. There is really nothing better than holding an actual book in your hand. But with the technology-based world we live in, that type of reading is becoming more and more rare. It has become more common to see people reading on a Kindle, Ipad, or even their phones. These new ways of reading have made it more convenient to read anywhere and anytime now that you don’t have to carry around a large book.  Although I think this reading revolution is exciting, especially to see how far we’ve come since the print revolution, I also think we are missing out on the joy that comes from holding an actual book in your hand. Personally, trying to read on a computer screen hurts my eyes. I can only read for so long until I get a headache and can’t read anymore. I don’t read the newspaper often but when I do I prefer it be an actual paper, not the online website. I’m not against this new reading revolution because I think to keep the public informed sometimes means changing the way you get information out, but I will always prefer the actual book and paper to be in my hands. I think it will be interesting to see how this reading revolution continues to develop throughout the years.
