Are we becoming a world without bookshelves?

Books are the carriers of civilization.

Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill.

Without books, the development of civilization would have been impossible. 

They are engines of change, windows on the world, and lighthouses erected in the sea of time.

They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasure of the mind. Books are humanity in print.

Are we really becoming a world without bookshelves?

Well the answer is - yes, we are!

In this modern era of electrical devices and gadgets, the world does not have a place for bookshelves because we have eliminated the objects that go on them. 

Even if there exists a bookshelf; in 1 out of 10 houses but there are no books on them so let’s call it just a shelf, it doesn’t fit the requirements of being a bookshelf.

In the past, reading books was considered to be the best hobby as books were supposed to be your best friends.

Did you know that ShowFlipper Inc. provides a publishing and selling platform for emerging writers and poets?

But now we have made gadgets just like our oxygen, we are not able to survive without them even for a day. We humans have become so lazy and machine dependent that we want everything in the virtual form.

A growing number of individuals don’t have books. After all, who wants those heavy, clunky volumes when you can store an endless library on a gadget that weighs not more than a single paperback?

We can’t say that people have totally stopped reading because e-books have now replaced the printed books and obviously e-books do not need a bookshelf.

But, there do exist some people who are still interested in the printed books.

Those who read books are lucky. You might be thinking why lucky? Well the answer is because they gain many benefits from reading books. Let’s take a look on a few:

Reading reduces stress as when we are reading we are still and in a comfortable manner and a relaxed mood. We imagine ourselves in a world that the words of the book describe therefore we cannot think of any other tasks or worries. So, reading reduces stress.

Reading helps us build a better vocabulary. The studies have proved that those who read books have a richer vocabulary then those who do not. And what can be better to know the words that can best describe your feelings?

Reading increases our knowledge as books are definitely the treasure chest of knowledge. The more knowledge you have, the wiser you become.

Reading stimulates imagination. Humans are limited to the extent to which their imagination is limited. When we read about unknown places and thing our mind automatically creates the imaginative images which strengthen the creativity of our mind.

Reading improves focus and concentration as we focus on the content of the book while reading and there are no other thoughts running in parallel. Learning requires concentration and reading books increase this ability and we learn new thing easily.

These were just a few benefits of reading books, there are a lot more.

“A world without books would be like a world without colors.”
