In English class today we had a writing assignment written on the board. The topic? - are books becoming obsolete? Which made me to start thinking...and I decided, YEAH, I don't really read much, although I kind of wish I did. When I do read, it's usually on the internet.

So what do you think? Are books becoming obsolete?

--------------------

As a matter of fact, I know quite well on this subject cause my grandparents are book dealers. When books that are quite old become work like 5 cents...they are definatly becoming obsolete!

What does obsolete mean?

I'm asking myself the same question.

Anyways, I do read.
We have to in school, but I also read because I want to.

My favourite books are: Harry Potter Trilogy, LOTR Trilogy, Da Vinci Code, Digital Fortress and Angels & Demons

I recommend you all to read, because you get smarter and its also fun.
When you read something really exciting, you cant stop reading.

--------------------

Books are becoming obsolete as technology progresses though man is trying to surpass the boundaries and create an technological world bound to fall under severe consequences.

--------------------

Schoolbooks aren't becoming obsolete here in the Netherlands, in this advanced country we don't use laptops as of yet, as it is in the US.

I like to read books also, LOTR stuff .

If you don't know the meaning of a word, there is a simple way to figure it, a book called the dictionary :p. Or an online dictionary.

Lol.
Books are sadly becoming obsolete, although i myself am an avid reader. It's all the goddamn TV and s*** that's being thrust into our generations minds. I've grown up without a TV, makes you appreciate a lot more things in life. Tbh in another generation or so, we'll be like the society in fahrenheit 451 >_>. Just my opinion
-Lax

That's kind of funny, because that is the book that we are reading in class.
