Are eBooks jeopardizing the future of print books?

Written by Shannon M De Souza

    The advancement of technology has proved to be a game-changer in our lives. Accepting and adapting to technological changes is the only way of survival in this era. Technology has changed our means of living in so many ways. Now, the world is shifting very rapidly from print media to digital media. eBooks are easily available for ardent booklovers on digital platforms, Google, Google Playstore, and Amazon to name a few. People are just a click away from accessing their favorite books and magazines.

       A variety of eBooks are offered on the internet.  A lot of these books are free of cost and people do not have to take out time to go to the bookstores to buy books and magazines. eBooks save both people’s time and money. Book readers can read any book, any time, sitting at home. Similarly, students also do not have to necessarily buy their course books as they are also available online. It would not be wrong to say that these eBooks are slowly taking away the position of printed books and jeopardizing their future.

    Covid-19 has further worsened the situation of print media as people choose not to step out of their houses and visit the bookstores or libraries and read books online. But still, a myriad of people opts to go with the traditional reading methods. Also, countries like Pakistan, where many people are technologically handicapped due to the scarcity of resources or lack of education, are more inclined towards the print media. Nevertheless, the advent of eBooks has made things easier for people, because who would not enjoy getting to read online instead of taking out time to buy books.

The Role of Media in Spreading Awareness of HIV/AIDS in the Rural Areas of Pakistan.

     Health is an important factor in defining human development. The effectiveness of the labor force enhances when people's condition improves. Pakistan is a developing country, and it faces a lot of issues and challenges. One of the leading issues that our country is facing right now is that of health.
