WHENEVER & WHEREVER

When I talk about the new readers generation I mean all these people that as I said in previous posts read electronically. There are many good reasons to read from a screen. One of them is internet, it is huge the amount of written data that we get from and through internet as a routine.  See for example e-mails, web journals or magazines, electronic books or any kind of written document really. This lately phenomena happens out of the benefits that internet leads us when it comes to getting any kind of data almost whenever and wherever we want it.  Meaning that when a nowadays student needs to get done some course work, will find the brief in the university website.  If you happened to want to read Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen when you are waiting for the bus, you can just download it from the internet and start reading it in less than five minutes.

Another of the greatest advantages of this “electronic reading” is the weight and space saving. With this I am referring to that big shelf filled with books that good readers have. This shelf isn’t a problem for settled people. But in the last 15 years the fact of moving around the world has become easier and this is generating a generation of nomads. For this nomads is way more comfortable to carry just one light and little device that can fit all their books in it.
