RE: Internet, Chat-Room, Social Media(Steemit) Addiction
I think the point made is that a book symbolises something more well-thought out instead of the more simplified, context-compressed stuff that misses out on details common in social media channels. The fact this post isn’t written in a “book” like form and getting such a reaction demonstrates that.
I believe in balance. I read books (mostly fiction), Facebook, steemit, work-related articles and just about any text that peeks my interest. I read quickly, so I am very quick to decide if something is worth my attention. As for the supposed value of books over other media -
all you need to do is peek on amazon to understand that it's a symbol, and nothing more. Form does not predict quality in content.
yup you're right, there's just more inclination to take large bodies of work that takes time to produce more seriously (or wholesomely) than tweets is all i'm saying. too much assumptions on both parts with context deprived material (which is short form). It's more like an art and skill these days though to be able to pack enough information for quick digest
Depends on the information you want to consume. If you're looking for news updates or current bitcoin trading trends, you're more likely to find them on twitter than in a book.
