We've heard the cliches before..."Reading is fundamental", and "Knowledge is power."...but I don't think the world really understands how important reading is. I'll admit, I'm not the biggest fan of opening a book during my leisure time, but I do think that in order to grow, you have to introduce yourself to new things. To learning new words and reading new material are excellent ways of growing and expanding your mind. For those who think that reading is for nerds, I think we should give a round of applause to Amazon and Barnes & Noble for the reinvention of reading; The Kindle and the Nook!
I would say that technology has hindered the generation we live in today from actually opening up a paperback book or reading a newspaper, but The Nook & Kindle make reading cool again.
With the way gadgets are being brought into the world today, it's only a matter of time before everyone has an electronic reading device and books become cool again. I love the way technology has worked it's way into something as simple as not having to lick your finger to turn a page.
What are your thoughts on reading ...the Nook/Kindle ...and the state of technology today?
Spread Love. Live life. Be Inspired.
Whoever made these things is a genius. I dont have 1 yet but i think i would read more if i did
