Points to speak on the topic – “Books vs Screens” –
In Favor of Books:
- When reading a book, distractions are minimal compared to reading on screens, leading to deep reading and enhanced recall abilities.
- Reading a book typically causes less eye strain when compared with reading on screens.
- Holding a book in your hands and reading it provides an irreplaceable experience that screens can’t match.
- Since books have fewer distractions, reading them has the potential to reduce stress.
- Books require less maintenance since they don’t need charging or an internet connection.
In Favor of Screens:
- Screens are cost-effective. We can learn many things with the help of smartphones and the internet. Moreover, e-books and the content on the internet are cheaper than physical books.
- Screens are inclusive. For example, they have a feature called text-to-speech, which is very helpful for visually impaired people, making it easier for them to understand and enjoy content.
- Screens are easy to carry, making them convenient to take anywhere, unlike books which can be heavier and bulkier to transport.
- Books lack the convenience found in screens, where you can increase text size, change its colour, and search for specific words.
Conclusion:
Choosing between books and screens depends on what someone likes. Some may prefer traditional books with their physical pages, while others might like screens, such as tablets or smartphones, where they can read and explore information digitally. It completely depends on personal preference.

Reading books with its physical appearance can help us to relate emotionally, while screen lacks of it due to distraction.
I think while reading books they give a physical feedback .when you turn the page it’s like you are making progress.this gets reflected back to your subconscious mind hence the many persons who are reading the book physically are more likely to complete the whole book. While reading on the screen it won’t get that much feedback and feel of accomplishment. Once you get into habit of reading books whether it physically or in screen you won’t stop at reading just one. That’s my point of view.
Reading by book helps a person to be more focused and when one imagine without distraction it works like an exercise of brain for that person.
