SOCIAL MEDIA VS BOOKS

SOCIAL media these days tells us to make the lie big; make it simple; hold repeating it until it in the end devours the truth. One of my pals lately requested me to sign up for the Twitter area at the triumphing financial state of affairs in Pakistan. I truly instructed him I did now no longer have an account. He was puzzled about how I become get ready for an upcoming aggressive exam if I become now no longer following tendencies on social media. I was puzzled if his phrases had any logic. It is nice to apply social media to get oneself updated, however, it isn't always sufficient to compete with the hastily reworking world. That is why many influential personalities and billionaires, or even human beings in growing countries, spend their time analyzing books.

A document claimed that Bill Gates nevertheless reads fifty-two books a year; that means an ee-e book each week. In 2021, a WorldAtlas document claimed that India crowned the listing of nations in which residents spent 10 hours and forty-two mins with books in step with a week on common, accompanied via way of means of Thailand and China, even as Japan and South Korea had been a success in notching up the remaining spots at the listing that assessed 30 international locations in phrases of common time spent with books in step with character in step with week. However, it became now no longer noted what form of medium/fabric became examined, which can be online news, paintings e-mails, magazines, and books in print. It is pertinent to speak about approximately our state vis-à-vis ee-e book analysis. In 2019, a pre-pandemic survey was carried out via way of means of Gallup, and Gilani, an associate of Gallup International, launched its survey document on analyzing habits. It claimed that seventy-five in step with cent of the respondents stated they do now no longer examine books at all. The 25pc who examine blanketed the ones analyzing path books, non-secular literature, and magazines, however now no longer regularly. This needs to now no longer wonder us, thinking about our appalling literacy price due to the fact we've additionally lagged a long way in the back of South Asian international locations which have literacy fees of approximately 75pc.In 2021, there have been 61.34 million net users (27.5pc), and there have been forty-six million social media users (20.6pc) in Pakistan out of the country-wide population. But, unfortunately, we do now no longer have even an old survey of what number of hours being spent analyzing books with the aid of using Pakistanis in step with week. The abysmal kingdom of schooling produces the ‘uneducated educated’. We like adopting shortcuts, and social media is a shortcut to having a sense of being informed. It is a delusion. This makes our questioning confined and destroys our essential evaluation of any topic. Pakistani management and the country’s youngsters have to be honest in the event that they need to live on and compete in this speedy trans-forming world. It is time we consulted books for know-how and records instead of the net and social media which have their personal pitfalls and perils within side the shape of faux or deceptive content material that could lead one to risky conclusions.

Social media is a great platform nowadays for representing our skill ,art, and many other thing ,but despite this fact it is also wasting our precious time, which may we can we in reading beautiful books which will provide us with the knowledge that remain in our minds forever.
