Almost all mass media, films, soap operas, to short stories and novels, describes people who like reading books as a human being in the mix stiff, thick glasses, and ancient appearance. A character assassination that is very cruel, but we enjoy laughing, because the figure of the geeks in the soap opera often look very funny.

Is it true that book will make you obsolete?
NOT AT ALL !
How can so that experts can create the all advanced mobile phones? One of them, because they diligently read books!
How do television so that the businessman had made an interesting event that entranced audiences and has a very large dependence on television? One of them, because they read a book about "how to treat viewers to the events of interest."
So, the book is precisely the tool that allows people to enjoy a more modern life. The book is a tool that can bring us toward civilization that much better.
"Books can bring a mobile phone" but " mobile phone could not bring a book" (except the manual is included on every new phone boxes).
The problem is, we are so in love with mobile phones, but we forget the book. We treat the mobile phone as part of lifestyle. But we do not treat the book more as a burden that is used when there are urgent things that cause us to have to read the book.
Now, let us ask ourselves: Is a mobile phone we love can make our lives much more quality than before? Is our beloved mobile phone can make us human are so much smarter than before?
If the answer is NO, then why do we still love the mobile phone more than a book?
