This report tries to explain the circumstances of the lack of interest of people in reading books and suggests some reasons to encourage reading.
In general, there are some main reasons that people give for not reading books, such as the cost of books, the internet and computer, other leisure activities, lack of free time, boring stories and libraries which are inaccessible.
The first reason related to the cost of book is true because there are not many local places to select different prices or topics. The most expensive books are the fiction ones and the cheapest are the philosophy books.
The second reason, related to the Internet and the computer, show a change in the ways people receive information, read and write. With the Internet and the computer, the book and notebooks have almost completely been replaced and the information that people read in those devices is more concrete and efficient. Therefore, the book has been transformed into a massive virtual library of data, with movement and visual effects.
The third reason, regarding other leisure activities, is part of the changes in this new generation with access to the new technologies, such as video games, karaoke and other platforms that involve small amounts of reading, but new forms of interaction with others online or face-to-face.
The fourth reason, lack of free time, is related to responsibilities not only in school or collage but also in people’s own homes. Nowadays, young people have begun to get involved in different activities from a young age, such as driving working, chatting, working and studying activities, which fill their time.
The fifth and sixth reasons are related to each other because there are few local libraries and there are not a variety of topics that you can find in them. As a result, young people lose interest in reading and travel long distances from their homes to find boring stories in the same few books.
Reading is very important in life because it is the best way to develop not only vocabulary, but also to develop people’s own minds.
If it is true that the local bookstores or libraries don’t have sufficient books, there is a huge world of knowledge and ways to find the books that we want through the Internet in places like, Amazon and E-Bay. In the same way, you can find different online books and legendary libraries of specialization topics on the Internet.
Finally, it can be said that the Internet web has opened the door of knowledge and new technologies has provided new ways of reading books, with devices such as the Ipad, Ipod and Iphone.
People should be encouraged to keep on reading and they will find whole new worlds.
