 [Source](http://whytoread.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Best-Adult-Vampire-Books.jpg) ## Has reading been replaced? That's a weird question to ask. Isn't it? Of course it hasn't been completely replaced, but there are other methods of obtaining information now, that offer us easier access\convenience in our ever growing hectic lives. Like for example, listening to an audio books has allowed us to multitask while still being immersed in a story, or even educational literature. You can literally gain an education while operating a piece of heavy machinery; while driving a car. You sure were never able to read while doing that. Haha Now we have these things called podcasts, that are readily available for an unlimited body of subjects and entertainment. Reading is still an essential thing in all of our lives, but its something that requires our undivided attention. I think that these alternative methods give us a huge advantage that the world has never seen before. If utilized the right way, this could easily branch off into a revolutionarily impactful tool for humans to grow and learn from one another. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ### Super Hero Status: Lol Jordan Peterson explains beautifully, what I touched on above. A man of his intellectual stature\articulation, makes me feel like a dumbass, but I'm sure glad we have a mind like his actively thinking about things for the rest of humanity. Watch this short clip of what he has to say on this subject. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #### Jordan Peterson On Importance Of Reading https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4BoRsPUwUs ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for reading my post,and for any contributions made!(Upvotes, comments, follows, and resteems) I found this to be a very interesting subject.
