With advance technologies, new innovations pop up every day. Especially after the various kinds of smart phones and handy devices were introduced to public, reading is no longer confined to paper only.
I am the kind of person who is fond of reading books, but not news paper. However, after I have an iPhone with me, I gradually change my habit of reading (and I believe most of the people who have a smart phone with them change their reading habit like I do). When I go out, I always take along my phone but not necessarily a book. Therefore, reading these electronic books in iPhone instead of the heavy paper-type books is far more convenient.
I don’t like traditional new paper as it always dirty my hands. Yet, if I read news on my phone, things are so much easier – no dirty hands, concise articles, shorter movie clips, and a lot more images. The articles have been categorized nicely so I can find interesting news very quickly. When everything is simplified, reading news is not just a process to know what is happening around us, it is also an entertainment.
The followings are two of the websites I like to go the most in order to obtain the most update news:
1: Yahoo!
Even though I could read almost every book genre and I am a step closer to the world with more news I read each day. However, there are still some concerns. For instance, my eyes get tired very easily and quickly reading the super tiny words. As I like reading when I am lying on my bed before sleep, my short sight gets worse. And a research conducted by the National Sleep Foundation (NSF) in March 7, 2011 found that people are more difficult to fall asleep if they are exposed to artificial lights (which include the light from all communication technologies) before sleep.
Last but not least, if we think the act of reading news on the phone from a different angle, it is a kind of self-isolating actions. It is because if we click on the news websites whenever we have spare time, actually we are ignoring the chances of building or strengthening relationships with our beloved friends and family members.
Therefore, sometimes, when I hear people saying the end of print books and news paper is near, I know deep inside my heart, it is not true! :D
