Books are important

Books have so many purposes throughout our entire lives we use them for everything, To get lost in fiction wrapped up in our own imagination, envisioning what the writers are seeing in their minds. There are the non-fiction of true stories and criminals in what they did and how they got caught, maybe you like reading these maybe you don't. Books are you used to teach us and our families in school and at home for example my first words, my first colours, then we move up to learning to read and then studying in high school,college and for some even university, books all play an important role in our life. Even playing on a computer you pick up the manual to learn how to play or a walkthrough book or a  site on the Internet which shows you how to walkthrough games,  its all still reading. If you don't do any of these things I bet you still use those little booklets to guide you through building a table, a chest of draws or even a wardrobe still these are forms of books and we just cant get away from the importance of how valuable it is that we need to read. This was just one of my thoughts for today I needed to write it down. how do you feel about it? Do you think books will soon be a thing of the past with the internet and downloadable books?
