So today I discuss new books and their significance on our culture and learning. Unlike other books of the past, books of the future come with meaningful insight and know-how in different categories and functions. It's not enough to just pick up a new book about technology, or about how the internet and tech companies are dominating our culture. It's now very important and critical to understand why and how we've come to this place in our day and time.
You see in the past when a book or written publication was controversial, it required a full dedicated team of editors, scientists, and possibly a whole array of academics to understand its place in our culture. But as things have progressed, we've relied less on how things are done, to the new question of, why things are done. Unlike television, when you read something on paper or a website, you get a deep understanding of the concept and meaning that it's intended to portray.
We know that as a culture, the things that influence children and adults alike, come from what we ingest on a regular basis. If we browse the same sites and sources, are minds get filled with biased information from people who have an agenda, but, if we look to new places and areas for information, we are opened up to a slew of different opinions. My only goal for myself is to keep my family and friends aware of the mass possible brain influencing that goes on when we read books written by people who wish to change our opinions.
So, to further understand what i'm trying to explain you need to keep this in mind, not every person has the same opinion as those around them. Alot of people think and act differently, but chose to remain silent as to not offend others with their thoughts, as far as how things play out in the future, we will have to wait and see. I for one, am optimistic.
