In our 21st century-the age of information, people are trying to grab any resource, just to get this information. But more and more often, they still turn to the Internet rather than to books, hence there are disputes that books have been losing their positions as an information resource for a long time.

For hundreds, thousands of years, in an attempt to find some information, to learn the unknown, people have been turning to written sources, in the hope that they will give an answer to the question of interest.

For hundreds, thousands of years, in an attempt to find some information, to learn the unknown, people have been turning to written sources, in the hope that they will give an answer to the question of interest. But with the advent of modern technologies, people began to look for answers more and more on the Internet and began to forget books.

I can agree that books lose their role in the information concept, because it is much easier to go to the search network and ask a question, to which you will immediately be provided with thousands of answers from completely different sources, which is of course much more convenient, since you can find out everything you need absolutely at any time and in any place. And this of course pushes books into the background, because to find the book you need, you need to run around a lot of places, and besides, books containing some scientific or historical facts are very expensive, and it is simply impossible to find the reference book you need in electronic format. So yes, when choosing between books and interior design, people will definitely choose the Internet because of accessibility.

But at the same time, I'm not sure that the Internet can always be trusted. People think that if an article is written on Wikipedia, then it has 100% reliability, but do not forget that absolutely anyone who is ignorant of this issue can make amendments to articles on this site. And personally giving my example, I can say that I found a lot of inconsistencies on this site in the usual historical data when I checked them with the official data of books written by historians.

In addition, books always remain a constant resource of information related to the vocabulary, since no article read fluently will give you a richer vocabulary than a book.

In conclusion, I would like to say that although the Internet will displace books from our lives, those, in turn, will occupy a very important step in the information plan of our life. And if you want to get more truthful and reliable information,it is better to turn to books.
