Do people use their mobile phones to read books or buy paper versions?

With the increasing popularity of the Internet, new reading methods, such as e-books, digital magazines and mobile newspapers, are constantly impacting people's traditional reading habits, especially young readers. Almost no one is out of touch with the Internet, and their interest in traditional reading is gradually weakening. Nowadays, with PDA, MP4 or mobile phone, you can read e-books anytime and anywhere. According to the survey, in recent years, the reading rate of Chinese national books has been declining continuously, and nearly 1/4 readers said that the time spent on reading has been sharply reduced year by year. In response, Minister of Culture Sun recently issued an appeal: "With the high popularity of computers, we should appeal to the whole society, especially teenagers, to attach importance to reading, especially reading aloud. In the past, we often used the sound of books to describe our campus. Now our campus has become silent, and the sound of reading is getting less and less. In fact, fingers can't replace our throats. " Of course, online reading is not a scourge, in a sense, it just represents another gesture of reading. We interviewed how to look at online reading and where traditional reading will go in the internet age. We are standing on the threshold of a brand-new reading era. Doris Lessing, the Nobel Prize in Literature laureate in 2007, wrote in her acceptance speech: "The Internet has lured a whole generation with its nothingness, and it is difficult for rational people to be free even if they admit that they are fascinated by it. For example, they may find that they spend a whole day reading blogs. " Lessing made a horizontal comparison between students in Zimbabwe and northern England, and found that in developed countries, television and the Internet have a great influence on people's thinking ability, while in poor Zimbabwe, children's desire for books is extremely strong. Therefore, Lessing appealed to people not to indulge in TV and Internet, because writers "don't jump out of houses without books". Lessing's anxiety about the decline of traditional reading also shows the inner confusion and anxiety of people who advocate traditional reading habits after the Internet has become a necessity in daily life. Dr Chang Li from the School of Humanities, Zhejiang Normal University told the reporter: "What we call traditional reading is based on reading, while online reading is based on online reading. Online reading can't completely replace traditional reading. We know that the emergence of television has not replaced newspapers, and the emergence of the Internet will not replace books, but there are likely to be trade-offs. We are standing on the threshold of a brand-new reading era. In the history of human reading, any technological revolution has undoubtedly promoted the development of reading. The emergence of the Internet has once again updated the way we read. " Chang Li used the word "update" to better explain the emergence of online reading. He believes that any new reading mode is not born to replace the previous reading mode. However, he pointed out that if you blindly indulge in online works, it will definitely lead to the weakening of reading. He said: "Online reading itself is a conspiracy of technology and desire. In order to compete for eyeballs instead of people's hearts, reading has become a one-time consumption until the body. " The charm of traditional reading is comparable to that of non-network reading. Many people are indifferent to the surging network literature. Especially in bookstores, this feeling will be stronger. The last position of traditional reading may be in the chairs and floors of bookstores, where we can see countless pairs of eyes immersed in books, men, women and children, sitting or leaning, enjoying the lasting and powerful pleasure brought by traditional reading. Wu Hao, who is sitting on the edge of the biographical bookcase and reading Biography of China's Famous Contemporary Economists, told reporters: "I didn't come into contact with the Internet until my freshman year, and I was busy with the college entrance examination for the next two years. I don't think the internet has any influence on me at all. It is better to read this book in the bookstore. " Zheng, who works in Jinhua Road Management Office, went to Xinhua Bookstore to read when he was free. The longest time, he ran to the bookstore to read books after lunch until dinner. Zheng said: "I spend much more time studying than surfing the Internet. Reading books online is too difficult. Reading in the bookstore is more casual, so you can calm down and have a look. " As a traditional reader, Ou Liang, a poetry lover, is also a computer expert. They often spend some time reading books and then use computers to express their feelings. Computers only replace paper to present their thoughts and feelings and exchange views with friends. Blogs, podcasts, QQ and forums all exist for communication, rather than indulging in the network. Dr. Chang Li said: "Books in traditional reading have a cultural accumulation, which can change everything from steel to soft fingers. In terms of classics, reading habits and styles, non-network reading can be compared with it overnight. Especially reading classics requires a heavy attitude. This is a huge world, and you need to enter it bit by bit. You must slow down your reading, stay in some wonderful details and feel the richness and subtlety. You can't be lazy at all in this kind of reading. This is exactly the opposite of the requirement of online reading. " As long as you are still studying. China citizens' reading rate has been declining, replaced by the soaring online reading rate. Some people even boldly predicted that in the near future, books will only be seen in museums. What do you think of this? Do you support online reading or traditional reading? Last year, there was a book called Reading for Life, which was very popular not only on the Internet, but also in bookstores. In the book, more than 30 China cultural celebrities are bent on doing one thing: praising children's reading. This book is widely circulated on the Internet. People made this book into a download version, a recitation version, an excerpt version, an epigram version, and even used the title "Children must download". "Reading changes life", a meaningful life warning, quietly circulated on the Internet. The preface written by Badain, the editor-in-chief of the book, is loved by many netizens: "Reading can't change the length of life, but it can change the width of life; Reading can't change the starting point of life, but it can change the end point of life; Reading makes life never be at the mercy of fate, grasp yourself and go to the polar regions of dreams persistently; No matter how noble or humble you are, reading can change the coordinates and trajectory of life and play the music of life. " It is the network that makes such touching words spread to every corner, and it is also the network that makes the sound of reading spread more widely. No matter how much Lessing opposes the internet, her acceptance speech can only spread all over the world through the internet, which will either arouse readers' hearts or make them laugh. What matters is whether we are still studying; It doesn't matter what media we read, what matters is what we read. Teacher Zhu, who retired at home, talked about reading and was deeply touched: "Yi Zhongtian said that reading is a kind of life. As long as it is beneficial to life and happy to read, I think even online reading is ok. " Dr. Chang Li deeply agrees with this: "In any case, online reading is better than traditional reading, and reading is always more beneficial than not reading." China's online reading rate has increased by 6.5 times in six years. According to the General Administration of Press and Publication, the reading rate of traditional media in China has dropped for six consecutive years, and the online reading rate has increased by 6.5 times in six years. The latest report of the fourth national sampling survey on reading and purchasing tendency released by China Publishing Science Research Institute this year shows that the reading rate of traditional media in China has declined for six consecutive years, and the online reading rate has increased by 6.5 times in six years. With the rapid development of Internet and high technology, traditional publications, including books, newspapers, magazines and audio-visual products, have shown a downward trend in many countries in recent years. On the other hand, the development of Internet media is strong. With the advent of the global digital age, the public's reading style is no longer limited to the traditional paper media. New digital media such as news websites, e-books, digital magazines, online music and online games, as well as many new reading methods and reading carriers based on mobile phones, such as mobile newspapers, mobile novels and mobile music, are quietly emerging, constantly challenging traditional life and constantly impacting people's auditory and visual nerves.
