The Role of Television, Computers, and Books in Our Life
As far as books and computers are concerned, I can say in my firm confidence that computers will never replace books. Firstly, because they fulfill different functions. It's true that both books and computers contain information. But one computer is worth the whole library. So, perhaps, computers will replace reference books because it's quicker and easier to find the necessary information in the computer than in the reference books. But I am sure computers can't be compared with fiction.
Historical novels, adventure books, detective stories, science fiction, romance, poems which we read for pleasure or if they are recommended by teachers to create a special atmosphere. They take us into the imaginary world of high human emotions, exciting relations. A computer can help you in reading these books without turning the pages but working on the computer demands certain effort. In my opinion it is impossible to read 'The Master and Margaret' on the screen. We'll lack something important — the invisible contact with the writer.
As to TV, its role is expressed in the proverb: 'It's better to see than to hear'. Screen versions of literary masterpieces add much to our understanding the author and arouse unforgettable emotions.
