Still, many predict a future where books are a trend of the past and computers dominate the literature field. With such tight sentiments toward books, it would be close to impossible to banish them. There is something magical about holding a book in your hands. The feeling of pages behind you, the feeling of pages awaiting you, can sometimes capture and throw you right on the page itself, right in the middle of the story. The smell of a book, the smoothness of the paper, all spark a relaxing and nostalgic feeling.
Books are like a part of one's soul.
The author either pries into his own life or his imagination. The words which spill from the pen are words of value, words of originality. If computers took over, all these masterpieces of literature would need to be translated over onto the computer. They would likely loose much in the translations and so loose part of one's soul. As the computer literate take it upon themselves to put the printed versions of books onto the computers, there is nothing stopping them from changing the story, even if it is so minute that the average reader is not aware.
