HAVE PEOPLE STOPPED READING BOOKS?

So my inspiration for this one.. was when I was talking to a friend yesterday and asked her about a book that I really really wanted to read and I thought she’d know cause she’s the biggest bookworm ever! But I was shocked with her response. She just told me some website and asked me to read it online.

That’s when it struck me. I realized that technology has made us so dependent on itself that even the small task of going to a bookstore feels like forever! And then I was informed of some app that gives us full books to read and also comment on how they are. People read reviews from on there, search for the same books online and read them online too. I’m not really too sure if this is something that should make me happy. With apps like kindle, people find this online experience faster and easier.

Starting from movie reviews to restaurant reviews to anything on this planet happens online! I really don’t like the way this is going. “Books are man’s best friends” people say. This doesn’t seem true in today’s scenario. So what’s your experience ? Do you still read books? Or are you also too techno-savvy?
