11.It doesn't matter if books are delivered in print or by smart phone,and the main thing is to get lost in reading them.
Why should we bother reading a book?All children say this occasionally.Many adults with reading difficulties repeat it to themselves daily.In a world of accelerating technology,increasing time poverty and decreasing attention lengths,should they devote precious time sinking into a good book?
The discovery is that an extraordinary book has a transformative,effect on the way we view the world.This transformation only takes place when we lose ourselves in a book,abandoning the emotional and mental chat of the real world.That's why studies have found deep reading makes us more attentive to the inner lives of others.
We know reading is the foundation stone of all education,and an essential strength of the knowledge economy.But perhaps even more significant is its emotional role as the starting point for individual development and pleasure.Books can open up emotional,imaginative and historical views that equal and extend the corridors (通道) of the web.
If reading were to decline significantly,it would change the very nature of our species.If we,in the future,are no longer wired for our own reflection and creative thought,we will be weaker.However,technology throws up solutions as many as challenges:for every door it closes,another opens.So the ability,offered by equipments like e-readers,smart phones and tablets,to carry an entire library in your hand is an amazing opportunity.We should concentrate on the message,not worried about the medium.
We must also get better at controlling the ability of the internet to inform readers,and potential readers,about all the new books that are published every year,and to renew their acquaintance with the best of rich literary tradition.If we stop reading,we will be different people:less complex,less interesting.There can hardly be a better reason for fighting to protect the future of the book.
