Reading is old fashioned entertainment.

In fact, we are living in the times of Internet thanks to which we can find all necessary information in short time. That’s why people are more used to check everything online instead of turning pages of some heavy book. Sometimes, we simply don’t have time to read. Our society has a very fast way of living, which means that we has to work a lot while studying not only during university time, but also later when we have to develop others competences to have a good job. Adding others daily duties, we don’t have a while to read or we are too exhausted and we are more convinced to choose something which requires less time, like watching films. We also want to spend some time with our friends, so we choose going to the cinema, concerts or places like escape rooms, playing with them in board games. In addition, the technology development gives a lot of opportunities to entertainment. The most common thing are computer games which in this time are in very good quality and with an amazing story. In VR game we can forget about reality and spend some time in a place out of this world which sounds really appealing. But even all of this mentioned arguments, that we have others ways to entertain ourselves, I don’t think that reading is old fashioned way to spend some time. There are a lot of people who still read a lot. In my opinion, what has changed is the form of books that we are more able to choose. What I mean, there are audiobooks or e-books which become more and more popular. Seeing that we have less time to read, we choose audiobooks which we can listen to in our way to work or e-books which we can simply download form the Internet instead of going to the library or bookshops. There is one more thing which appeals to people – podcasts. And it is similar thing with audiobooks, it requires only our mobile phone and we can listen to it in every place possible.
