chapter 10 blog

       With new technology there comes change in how books are purchased and read. Being able to purchase and read books online has deminished the actually physical act of buying a hard cover a paper cover book and sitting down and reading it. This is hurting book stores like Barnes and Noble and libraries all over the U.S.

       With popular book series of the past becoming very popular movie series alot of people are just waiting for the movie to come out and saving time and not reading the book. For example the Harry Potter series, and the Narnia series. These are both very popular and high selling shows at the box office when they come out.

      Personally i do not read books of any kind except for assignments, hardly ever for pleasure. For me when i'm relaxing i don't always like to strain my mind and have to use my imagination, I want to just look at the television or a computer screen and be entertained.
