computers are better than books because it gives us all the info which are not available in books

Computers, because they include the overwhelming majority of books, including many of those that are no longer in circulation.

These range from published e-books, to scanned books, to ones that have been transcribed by hand.

If you can find it in a library, you can most likely find it on the internet. If you can't find it on the internet, it most likely only exists in private collections, if at all.

Computers. Just remember to block all porn,gaming,and social networking sites and your good to go.

With a computer, you can do almost anything. Literally.

I think it has to be computers and, to be honest, I don't think there's really much room for debate. Maybe that's a bit of a strong statement, and I suppose I could be wrong, but I just can't think of any benefit specific to books that cannot also be applied to modern computers, and no disadvantage specific to modern computers that cannot also be applied to books.

Eye strain? Shouldn't be an issue on a properly calibrated and positioned monitor. Sure, if you spend like 8 non-stop hours at a time staring at small text, you will certainly experience eye strain. But, the same is true with a book printed in small print, read for hours at a time in less than optimal lighting conditions. Use a well calibrated monitor and take occasional breaks and you'll have no issues here. Most modern browsers even allow you to zoom in when reading documents with smaller print. I could make it so I could read the arguments on this page from across the room if I wanted to.

Ability to stay focused? I think this depends largly on the user. I know that, for myself, I find books to be a much more intimate and enjoyable experience when it comes to something like a novel for sure. My imagination tends to get more deeply involved when reading a good novel on paper than it ever does when listening to an audio book, or just reading the text on a screen. But this is just for entertainment purposes. I find I have no such issues when I'm in "learning mode."

Let me give a specific example of why I feel the modern computer is the superior learning medium.

First, let me make it clear that I am no mechanic, and I'm most certainly not a "car guy." I'm not mechanically incompetent by any means, but I don't have much experience in the field at all. Anyway, I was recently approaching the mileage on my vehicle in which a Timing Belt change was recommended. This procedure on this particular vehicle can be very involved, takes quite a bit of time, even for a professional, and can easily cost upwards of $800 USD to have done.

I could have purchased a Haynes or Chilton repair manual and maybe worked up enough confidence to attempt the procedure myself. But I'm not sure information from a single source would have been sufficient to overcome my apprehension. Enter: the internet.

With my computer, I was able to access many, many sources of information concerning the procedure. From the factory repair manual, to various car forums where I could hear from and speak directly to others knowledgeable in the procedure, to actual step-by-step videos detailing the process. And it's not just the vast amount of information I was able to access that's so significant; but rather, it was the sheer ease and convenience with which it was available and accessible.

Armed with this much detailed information from a multitude of sources, I was confident enough to make the attempt myself. I borrowed a few tools, and spent a whole Saturday, and was able to successfully change not only the timing belt, but also the tensioner, the water pump, and all of the engine mounts. Saved nearly a thousand bucks, and felt a sense of accomplishment and pride as well as being personally enriched by the process.

That's just a recent personal example. I've heard of others who have done far greater things utilizing the modern accessibility of information the internet provides.

computer is better because from it we find more and more information than books.....For getting information,we need only one computer than a lots of books...it is also wastage of money...

These sides are not exclusive. A computer could include trillions of books, and with internet connection, easily will.

Also the idea of learning is too vague. People learn in different ways, look for different information, or use parts of the same information. Using a computer one could quickly search for the book on the subject they wish to learn about, or they could look for just the phrase pertaining to the bit of information they require.

I believe that a proper balance of books and internet sources is the best way. Why choose one when you have both at your disposal. However, while books may have their own specific advantages, the internet offers a larger variety of information in a quicker, easier, more convenient way.
