Is Google More Trustable Than Books These Days?
Everyone knows the well known baba of information, that is the Google Baba. These days, the internet is getting lit. It is seriously going wild. If there is a little query in your mind, people be like, "what do I know? Google it bitch!" From a simple definition, to cooking up a recipe, people Google it. Google has become a platform where it feels like, "aao apne doubts solve karo!" like its a help center. For every doubt, people start googling it. Google and other search engines have become so popular, as for, if you are looking for memes: you google it. If you are looking for vines: you google it. Want to search a celebritys relationship status: you google it. If you want to check out the translation of a language: you google it. Want to check out the nearby best mouth watering dining restaurants: you google it. If you want to book the movie tickets or want to check the show timings: you google it. If you want to check out when is Holi 2018: you google it. Or if you want to check out when is the upcoming movie Avengers: The infinity war is releasing in the theaters: you google it. From searching a product on the net to finding out the definitions. The internet is on fire, its seriously lit. People are being so much of dependent on the Google Baba that memes have been made on it. Like: Parents: Beta what are you doing? Kid: Just surfing on the internet. After few months... Parents: Beta, what are you doing? Kid: Just googling something. Parents: Beta do ask google to find my black slippers or Putt Google toh puchi, chabeel kithe lagi hai? Chadh de iss mamme nu, thoda kitabo toh vi padhle! Lol, Balley! Balley! So even through this meme, its being depicted that people are so much in getting into the internet that I have to write a whole damn article on this, as its a very important topic to discuss on. People are getting so much reliable on the internet, that does it seems like that the part of books is being neglecting? You know guys, I have a friend from Afghanistan who told me that in Afghanistan they dont study with books, they havve E-Books. They study with the help of Gadgets. In India, itself, smart boards have come to change the way of studying. I guess in the near future, we would be having a whole new system that revolves around technology just like we see in Iron Man movie (the screens he had, so cool though!) But have you ever thought where does this data comes from? From where did this data was taken?Does it gets time to time updated? Who publishes it? Is the data for sure 100% pure or true? Too many questions, huh...!? Anyone can upload data on the internet. Yes, Anyone! Even you can, I can, just like this articles! I published this article to provide the informative content the readers are looking for. Now the question arises, that where does the most of the data comes from? The answer is through books, or by those who publish there content on the internet. The writers who have written there mesmerizing books would have uploaded there books online. And maybe this is the reason people are being so reliable on the internet. Cause thy feel like that the content is 100% original. But lets take an instance. In this year itself, our Accounts book got update, that is, the book was changed, there were some new content, some new procedures and methods, and the errors plus mistakes were fixed from the previous edition and moreover new questions have been added up. So how soon will the internet catch up with the updates? Or is it so, that the people studying online are still working with the old edition? Which should be more reliable now, the books or the internet? See guys, Im not being negative towards net but if a book has errors then just think about the same case for internet. For instance, if you are unable to understand a word and wants to know what is means, then what way would you prefer- Googling it? or Checking out from the dictionary? Most of the people will google it. But at the end of the day, from where did the definition of that very word came on the internet? Through the one who uploaded it, haha very funny! Where did the up-loader came to know about the meaning of it? Books. If you find something interesting, you upload it on the internet so that everyone could knew. Due to the up-gradation in the technology, a whole new World of Digitization is coming to a trend. Have you ever thought, what if google wasnt invented or brought up up till now? Or any other search engine too! A world without google- just imagine! How would you check out the release date of Avengers: the infinity war movie? How would you book for a reservation? Or how would you check out a nice place somewhere around? How would you book the tickets of fukrey returns and check out the show timings? How would have you checked out he definition o meaning of the word that made you lost from the topic and now its been half an hour and you have been staring the wall and have been into your dreamy fairyland. Too much stress Han! Man it would be like we are walking in the 90s. The internet has helped you so much that now you can just google the stuff you have been looking for instead of getting up from you bed and going to the market. Being reliable too much on the internet, is sickness or what? I guess this sickness is known as addiction body deo spray for both men and women. xD kidding it just came in my mind, sorry not body deo spray, just addiction. Is this addiction good? Damn sometimes I think how did my parents managed? I mean they seriously scored well and that also without google. They Rock! What if we were in the same situation? Just imagine that you are living in the 90s and if you want to surf the internet, for that every time, you have to go to the cybercafe. And all you have is the Nokia basic phone. Can you manage? I mean i know some people still have that phone whose battery is so amazing that its been roasting up on all the meme and troll pages. But teens without an android or apple phone in the present era is like ice cream without any cream. In the present era, even a 7 year old kid knows how to use a mobile phone and knows how to download a game from the play store! Now lets talk about education for a while. These days competition exams are so lit, that everyone is running down the lanes to chase a successful career which the competitive exams will help them too. But to crack those bad boys, how do "these"days students prepare! For preparing those exams, students generally require is general knowledge, and what they do is start downloading the last year papers or sample question papers and start studying from them. They also install some news app to get the daily buzz! But the Question arises why not from books? Have you forgot about the informative paper that a guy drops at your home every morning, called the newspaper? Every year there are latest books being published regarding the general knowledge and regarding a set of sample question papers which can help you crack your competitive exams. So, why not books? Cause you have to pay for them? And cause the internet is totally free as you have jio or that you have hacked your neighbors WiFi password? But whats the use of studying it on the internet, when your one tab say, "sample question papers for CAT" And the other tab says, "Facebook.com". Though you will like it that way but do you really think you crack you dream paper this way? I dont think so. Instead if you would prefer books then you would only concentrate towards your exams and you would be having a strong motive. Life is full of distractions but if you have got the remedies why aint you working on them? Though the internet is more reliable but from my way of perspective, I guess the books are more trustable! I mean the data on the internet is taken from the books,And plus the books are less distractive! According to me, books are more trustable. When you read a book, you get lost into its content instead of starts surfing other websites or downloading a movie side by side cause then most of the time you would be concentrating more on how much your movie has been downloaded and would be giving just 10% to your studies. No wait! I guess I said too much, Cause you would be studying like only 1% And your mind would be revolving around, which snack should I eat with this movie as it gets downloaded. Then how are you gonna crack those competitive exams? And let me tell you the near future of it! You would drop next year to prepare for it and a time would come when you will become more of a social addict and less of a library geek. And BAMMM! Again lost into the woods, Is that what you actually want? Though internet is cool enough to sort out your problems in seconds! But in the long term, the help or the guide you are looking forward to, are the books. I understand that you are lazy enough to read a book but I think you are capable enough to work hard for your career! I know that internet is more useful as it provides a suitable answer in minutes. But let us take an instance, Suppose you are studying from a book, a chapter, or something! What you get to know about in, is the meaning of that very topic, the concepts of it, and where i it used? Or what are its uses? What are its merits and demerits or advantages or disadvantages? All of them. Even the conclusion, remedies, precautions, side effects, or whatever the topic is related to! But when you are studying the same, on the internet, you have to find out the best definition. Then you have to search the sub - questions one by one to get the most appropriate content you have been looking for. And I guess it took you one whole hour to search out the complete topic, which now you can finally start studying. But on the other side, you already have the most suitable and appropriate content you have been looking for in your books. Plus it saved you time as to know you can study the whole damn topic in an hour, instead of wasting the time in searching of it. So, now tell me, which one should be more reliable? Instead of picking out the meanings from the dictionary, people prefer to google it, It sounds like the level of laziness is gone to 99999! Im not saying that leave the internet totally, just follow the books. Im just trying to convey that dude books are more trustable, A publisher knows what he or she is publishing but on the internet, anyone can upload anything. Maybe someone posted a content in a jokingly manner that you arent aware of, and all of a sudden a project pops up and you need information regarding that topic, and you use the same. So you would be surfing through the internet to find out the correct content instead of opening up your book which has the exact content, but is being roasted up in you bag. I guess, books are more trustable than internet, I know that internet does saves our time but is also a huge distraction. Dont let your career be hung up on like that!
