Putting the Future of Books Into Picture- an Effort by India Today Book Club

Somewhere on old book shelf, somewhere in any corner of the house, somewhere under a broken table, this is the future of Books. Declining impact of book reading/ education on our youth is the biggest surprise for us. What’s disturbing is the steady phase of the lost dignity of books. Book lovers are like helpless people can’t do anything to regain the past importance of books. Literature means a lot for us, not now but before some time. Today, books are falling from the terrace of dignity and at the same time, digital world- technology is climbing the success stairs with a rapid pace.

Books are the most precious companions of our life. A pen with a paper is hard to find these days. In the coming time, we will find just one type of books i.e. e- books. Moving fingers on the keyboards is an easy task to do rather than writing on a paper with a pen. Notepads are like low dated things for present generation, it’s the time to think about Microsoft Word Documents. Our globe without books- we can’t even dream of the same but our coming generation is going to make it happen. The day with laptops in hands instead of school bags is not much far.

Reading essays, story books, and comics were the favorite tasks of childhood but today it is going to be cover up by video games, laptop games and many more technological things. We forget that Books are blueprints of our history but one day our books will become history. I think we will tell our children that there were books on this earth, made of paper and so on. That day will be the most embracing day for us but no one is having time to think about the future of books. Infact our future is also going to be distress a lot without presence of books.

First president of the nation, our politics, our culture, our heritage; all these things are covered with just a hard binding or cover. Books are jam packed with all required informations, thoughts and many more things. Art of words, pictures of success is what we gain from books. Books and book readers are having relationship of commensalism phenomenon; where one gets the whole benefit and other not get harmed or helped. But now a days; there is no relation between a book and its reader. There is dearth of book readers and crowd of internet lovers. Everything is having its own importance, there should be no comparison. No doubt, internet is useful; infact very advantageous but at same peak books are also having their hidden dignity. We need to search for the same. Efforts for this search are entirely beneficial for us only.

Books are for us and we are culprits of books. Don’t let the books to the way of darkness otherwise we will have no ray of success.
