RE: The Internet has reduced the tendency to read books in our society

@munawar1235 I agree completely. But how do younger people learn the value of something that takes more time to get involved with? Wade Davis said a language is like an old growth forest. More of a different way to perceive the world than just a set of different words for the same ideas. I believe books are in a similar way valuable for what they offer, allowing the reader to see through the eyes of another. They allow the imagination to participate, since you visualize what you are reading. There is a value in that, something that you don't get from scrolling through endless facebook posts.
