Reading!

Even to the scientist the complexity of reading seems to be a miracle. The act of learning to read actually changes our minds. Reading habits changes and carves our very brains. In addition, once we are rewired the possibilities of analysis, imaginations and adventures are enormous.

This is what I have realized over few years. Along with that, I have also realized that in this digital age dominated by graphics, images and flying snippets of texts has changed our reading habits from books. We should try to trace the imprints of the effects of internet because of which our reading habit is perhaps slipping away from the culture and our routine.

Did you know that reading actually rewires our brain .when we hop into the U-Tube instead of a book are we loosing that brain wiring? By doing this are we loosing or are we adding the capacity to our brains?

Although we were not born to, read but human being developed this habit over the years and since then have been doing so. This in turn expanded the way we think, increased our intellectual abilities. As a result, you can say that reading is the single most remarkable inventions in our history. The ability to record history is one of the consequences of learning to reading .Human brain’s extraordinary ability to make new connections among its existing structures, a process made possible by the brain’s ability to shape by experience. This plasticity at the heart of the brain’s design forms the basis of a much of who we are and who we might become.

Reading is such a joyous habit that when you get a hold of an interesting book we have hard time putting that book down unless we finish it. Then why is that our generation is moving more and more away from the books and hooked up more with the Internet .E-books and Internet library is a very good thing but can never beat the real paper book. The joy of flipping pages with your fingertip can never compare with clicking the mouse to go to the next page.

However, this can be true for me and some other people not for every one. Different strokes for different folks.
