There is nothing constant in this world (probably in the whole universe). Except change.
From the earliest known civilizations, it is written in history books (or scrolls) that homo sapiens always strive to “improve” upon things and structures around him for his comfort, satisfaction, security and, whenever possible and feasible, luxuries. How was this possible when he is destined to die after a few decades, if not due to sickness or disease, then from war or simply old age?
Lucky for him, some earthling invented alphabetic writing about 5,000 years ago which was an evolution of the hieroglyphics, an earlier form of writing involving pictures or symbols to describe objects, sounds and even concepts (however they did that).
While the first “writer” did his thing on leaves, tree barks, wood blocks, bamboo slats, wax and metal tablets, man later came to his senses and concluded that records of everything worthy of documentation – from customs, traditions, social or religious practices, politics to medical and scientific discoveries – should be archived in some form of permanent data storage. In the end, peoples became one in the idea of the book as the perfect permanent archive.
That is how books came into being. Too bad those inventors have long gone to the afterlife before we, the modern earthling, could thank them. Through Skype or YM, perhaps.
So now we have books. Schools, from nursery and kindergarten to grade school up to the secondary and collegiate levels, continually educated man through books. Many have taken higher studies in post-graduate courses and wrote more books. The artistically-inclined wrote poetry and prose that helped increase the quantity and volume of readable materials on earth, not to mention the tons and tons of paper printed with the news and articles in magazines and newspapers, that man began to be overwhelmed and thought about cutting down on the devastation he is taxing Mother Earth by over-exploiting raw materials (as in denuding forests of trees) and unmindful flooding of toxins onto the atmosphere, resulting in growing huge holes through the ozone layer, by industries and manufacturing.
Modern technology unwittingly, as if it was built-in to our system, offered a solution through “paperless” work environments so as to preserve the precious tree, our primary source of paper, watersheds and natural oxygen. This, in a way, helps save Mother Earth by minimizing use of paper.
Books online or e-books from online bookstores are within the groove of environmental friendliness. Buying second-hand printed books is also a way of helping preserve the environment. Use and reuse of existing printed material is maximised.
The many available books online sites makes it easy for the modern man to learn about his past, update him on current events and trends that can help him chart his future. Purchasing or researching from books online is a faster, more economical and efficient way of accessing information we need – anytime, anywhere.
