Is it still necessary for offline bookstores to exist?

Just now in the bookstore, Teacher Zheng Zhong asked me seriously: "Nowadays, there are so many electronic books and self-media is so developed. Can you tell me what the meaning of the bookstore's existence is? Is it still necessary to exist? ! Uh-huh, I searched for a summary of many opinions on the Internet.

The first explanation

Now like Get, Dangdang Cloud Reading, etc., when e-book apps become popular, you can spend less than one book per month. You can read as many books as you want at a reasonable price, and some apps are also equipped with electronic readings. No matter how many e-books there are, there is still a need and market for paper books, and bookstores and libraries still have a need. There will be better development prospects in the future.

First, due to the lack of technology, the damage caused by e-books to eyesight cannot be solved yet. For teenagers, using paper books is currently the best option. Choice. Vision damage is difficult to recover with current medical technology. Therefore, it is difficult to popularize e-books among teenagers. In the future, with the continuous development of electronic display technology, high-definition and true-color electronics will be available. It is very likely that the reading effect of paper books will be better than that of paper books, and it will have good eyesight protection function. By then, paper books will definitely face the fate of survival of the fittest.

Second, the current e-books. There are big problems in the publication and management of e-books. It is common to find content that is misleading and fake, and even pornographic and violent content. By the way, it is common for parents of those students to face e-books. Enemy. It will create great resistance to the development of e-books. Chinese parents feel that it is worthwhile to spend a lot of money to buy e-books. This is the most troublesome problem that electronic publishers are unable to solve. . There is still a long way to go to form consumption habits.

Third, the collection function of paper books cannot be replaced by e-books.

With the popularity of e-books. , paper books will definitely face the survival of the fittest. High-quality and beautiful paper books will definitely become the goal of collectors. High-quality and beautiful paper books will not only have the value of reading, but also have the potential to appreciate. < /p>

In summary, paper books will exist for a long time, and bookstores and museums will have a place to survive. However, it is certain that bookstores and libraries in the future will not be what they are now. It will be integrated into coffee shops, teahouses, and even fast food restaurants and stations. As the number of marriages and new births continues to decline, the country will definitely spend a lot of money and energy to create dating places for young people. Bookstores and libraries will take on this important responsibility in the future. Although young people like to play games, would you rather find a partner in a game arcade or in a book-filled coffee shop? I am looking forward to your answer.

Statement 2

Some people say that libraries still have meaning.

I think that libraries are not only It has a meaning of existence now, it will also have a meaning of existence in the future, and it will always exist in the future.

The reasons are as follows:

1. As a public place, the library is social, and humans are social animals and must need this social place for communication. People of all ages and both sexes study in the library. The harmonious and civilized atmosphere cannot be matched by a small home. What's more, people of the same type sit together and study together, and they enjoy each other. Didn’t you see that the boys and girls in the study room were living in harmony. When you are tired of studying, you can look up at the beauties around you and admire the elegant handsome guys. That is really a good way to learn and visit at the same time! How can the parents at home have such attraction!

2. Diversity of library services. The library can not only read books and newspapers, but also check materials and provide information consultation. It even provides tea bars, snack bars, exhibitions and lectures.

3. The public welfare nature of the library. The library is warm in winter and cool in summer, open all year round, and is safe and reliable. Therefore, some people have a rigid demand for it:

First, children go directly to the library after school to study while Wait for the parents.

Second, the elderly are lonely, and they regard the library as a "family" to eliminate loneliness.

Thirdly, you can save money on air conditioning in the library than at home. Some people want to save money there.

Paper books represent the present, and e-books represent the future. Therefore, in the short term, paper books and e-books will still coexist in the long term.

The following points analyze the advantages and disadvantages of e-books and paper books:

First: paper books have the quality of reading books than e-books. The feeling of reading a paper book is probably something that e-books can never match. Books have the fragrance of ink, the pleasure of holding them, and the comfort of reading, which can relax your mind. But e-books are easy to carry.

Second: Ancient paper books can carry history and culture. For many people, ancient books carry the nutrition of various schools of thought and ancestors, but e-books require time to accumulate and lack the warmth of humanity. But e-books are easy to save. The backup can be uploaded multiple times and is not easily lost.

Third: Reading paper books has been a habit of mankind for thousands of years. It is difficult to change and takes a long time. However, e-books have only been around for a short time and most young people are used to reading. Therefore, once more people develop the habit of reading e-books, the impact on paper books will be relatively large.

To sum up, from the future when human resources on the earth are exhausted, paper books will be preserved as data, while e-books are very convenient and environmentally friendly for memory storage and for modern human beings to read and carry. so. We need to give time and space for paper books and e-books to coexist, and also give mankind a new era of survival and development.

The third statement

Mermaid Weimo talks about growth

The existence of Mermaid Weimo books is still necessary. There is a difference between paper books and e-books.

1. The feeling of reading is different

As human beings, we still attach great importance to experience. The experience of reading paper books can be transformed into a cup of tea, a wicker chair, and a patch of sunshine. , a quiet room plus a good book, such an afternoon will be a time of spiritual satisfaction. The tranquility of the space and the passage of time add to life a Zen feeling, spending such an "excitement and singing bird" "Change, many flowers will fall after sitting for a long time", books are the carrier.

2. If you don’t have so much time, speed reading books is better. I have been practicing speed reading recently and read a book of about 200 pages in one hour. Facts have proved that paper books are easier to do. , because the frame is just the right size for the eyes to go back and forth. Speed ??reading requires the eyes to move flexibly up, down, left, and right. You can keep reading to find the most important keywords in the book, or you can go back and add the missed keywords.

Physical ability proves that the human brain is rich in associations. As long as you find a few keywords on a page of a book, you can completely figure out the rest of the content, which will not take up too much time and will not be excessive. Missing content from the book.

The purpose of my speed reading is to systematically read a type of book, so it must be fast. There are many contents in the reference book that you can completely ignore and just look for the points that you pay attention to. The e-book experience is not good in this regard. The screen is too small and the eyes move back and forth, which can hurt the eyes.

3. You can write on paper books, write down your insights, your mood while reading, or even draw a small cartoon. Although you can write your thoughts on e-books, you cannot do so freely.

Of course e-books also have their benefits.

1 Save money

2 A large number of resources are easy to obtain

3. Like a forum, you can watch and discuss with others at the same time

4. All the underlined sentences can be found in one flip, which is very convenient.

I read both e-books and paper books, whichever is more convenient for me. But e-books still cannot replace paper books.

Statement 4

Teacher at the Elderly University in Changshun County, Qiannan Guizhou Province

I have never used e-books, so I am not familiar with e-books. I have no experience or feeling with e-books, and I don’t know if they are more convenient and attractive.

I love buying paper books and am proud of my collection of books. Paper books are convenient for checking information, especially when you need to check several books at the same time and mark them for reference at any time. Don’t know if e-books can do that?

I put some of the books I frequently use, such as reference books, on a small bookshelf. The small bookshelf is right next to my special seat for eating, warming up, and watching TV. When I want to read something, I can reach out and grab it. It is convenient, and it also looks very cultured and beautiful.

I’m afraid e-books don’t have this feeling, right?

Paragraph 5

The reading experience is different from the reading scene, and the atmosphere provided for reading is also different. Some people find confidants, friends, lovers, and partners here, while others find them here. Some people have found opponents, and some have found like-minded people, just like the existence of theaters, competition venues, and cinemas. You can’t say that with TV, computers, and mobile phones, there is no need for theaters, competition venues, and theaters to exist. Well, in the same way, libraries and bookstores always have their reasons for existing. Where there is a market, there is a sense of existence.

Statement 6

Although e-books are easy to carry, their disadvantages are also obvious. Damage to the eyes is inevitable. You can use For storage and convenience, but it will not replace paper books.

Statement 7

Personally, I believe that the feeling brought by reading a paper book cannot be replaced by an electronic book. On a quiet afternoon, you can hide in a sunny corner and pick up a book. The book will exude the smell of paper and ink, and everything will become quiet, which is a feeling that e-books cannot bring.

Of course, bookstores and libraries still need to exist. Children’s homework and extracurricular books should be in paper form and will not affect their eyesight. There are also many collectible books that require bookstores and libraries.

Of course, e-books also have many advantages, such as not taking up space, good real-time performance, and can be read at any time.

Lecture 8

E-books are a product of technological development, while paper books are traditional knowledge carriers. They all have the purpose of disseminating and recording knowledge. Functions, but each has its own unique role in different groups of people. Paper books are necessary for children and the elderly or groups who do not like electronic devices for reading. Paper books give people a more intuitive visual and physical experience, and reading The logos can be read as you like, and you don’t have to worry about being unable to read them without electricity. People who know how to operate electronic devices can read them. E-books are small in size and have a huge storage capacity, but they have certain requirements for readers. At the same time, the equipment must have power support or Network support and other requirements. E-books and paper books coexist now and even for a long time in the future. It is difficult to replace each other, and there is no need to deliberately replace them.

Statement 9

As a person who likes to visit bookstores, my The answer must be yes, let’s talk about the specific reasons.

1. The necessity of the existence of paper books

1. The value of collection. A favorite book can be taken out and read many times. With the enrichment of experience and work experience, Each time, you will gain deeper understanding and gain.

2. The pleasure of reading on paper, although the pen and ink cannot be said to be fragrant, the feel of the paper book and the state of reading make it easier for people to focus. Moreover, notes taken casually are also more conducive to review and accumulation of knowledge. The notes in the book are actually one of my treasures.

3. Although you can often hear APPs such as Fan Deng Reading, you still learn more about the outline of books through these, because listening APPs are often used by people to listen to in their spare time, such as They can effectively help us save time when commuting, cooking and washing dishes, and even before going to bed. They can more quickly sense the general meaning of the book and whether it is of interest, but it is difficult to have a detailed and objective understanding of the book, so I often listen to the in-app first Tell a book, then choose your favorite book, buy it and read it.

2. The necessity of the existence of bookstores and libraries

1. I remember mentioned in "Why People Buy" that if bookstores are only regarded as a channel for selling books, then It is far from enough. They provide people with leisure space. Reading is only one of the completed projects. We can also check, study by ourselves, relax, discuss projects, listen to lectures and communicate. This is why bookstores now usually have coffee shops, Because of the lecture theater, it became a learning space.

2. Bookstores and libraries give people more of an atmosphere. This kind of immersive experience cannot be satisfied by home or office space.

Nowadays, bookstores are becoming more and more artistic, with spectacular designs such as Tianjin Eye Library, niche designs such as the loneliest library in Aranya, and others such as Zhongshuge, Fangsuo, and Yanjiyou. Chain Internet celebrity bookstores, as well as some independent independent bookstores with unique characteristics, provide readers with far more than the books themselves, but also the aesthetic upgrades and experience upgrades that are also needed after the upgrading of spiritual and cultural life consumption.

3. Some niche and second-hand books also need to be found in specialized bookstores. Most documents and materials are still collected in libraries. Online documents can meet some basic needs, but libraries are still the best place to collect collections, local chronicles and other materials. It also preserves the historical and cultural heritage of a city or region.

4. Pictured here are the Atlantis Bookstore in Santorini, Greece, Tsutaya Bookstore in Japan, and Fangsuo in Chengdu. They not only sell books, but also carry recorded local history and culture. . As cultural spaces, they will never be replaced by e-books.

Statement 10

I consider the meaning of paper books in two situations.

1 For knowledge needs, the current significance of paper books compared to e-books is that you can quickly browse or locate them without clear keywords. The amount of information you get is not equivalent to flipping through a book a few times in your hand and scrolling wildly on a PDF file with your mouse. When flipping through a paper book, the chapter titles, paragraphs and other layout formats will quickly form a recognition pattern in your brain, and then flip through the book with the pattern. You can easily grasp the skeleton of a book. Although it is not as comprehensive and accurate as the catalog, it is more efficient. Extraordinarily high. When one day computers evolve to the point where any PC can simulate a flip book on the screen (touch screen + monster-level graphics card), paper books as a carrier of knowledge should be gradually retired. I think this will probably take to 10 years later.

2 As for spiritual needs, the more low-level and simple the spiritual needs are, the less dependent they are on paper books. The most widely circulated e-books on the Internet are martial arts, romance, fantasy, and comedy. , time travel,; the more advanced and complex the spiritual needs are, the more serious the dependence on physical carriers. Therefore, the future of paper books must be to eliminate the rough and select the essence, and make them more and more high-end. Each book is a limited edition with a number signed by the author and a gold bar. When the time comes, sit down in a cafe and take out a paper book. That is the symbol of your taste and the embodiment of your identity!
