An essay about internet vs. real-life experiences Correction is desired :) Since the internet has become a global sensation and took over the world it's easy to get hooked up on it. That includes traveling and reading as well. Internet has such a large database, you can never run out of information and materials, no matter how hard you try. It's much easier and cheaper if you read books on the internet or smart tablets. It can also be convenient as you can save the files on light devices and don't have to carry heavy books around. However, there are downsides to this wasy of reading. Screens are usually not friendly to your eyes and can cause damage. I prefer my reading material in physical form. The same applies to traveling. Of course you can look up al these destinations, even listen to music, discover their culture and unique dishes but that will never outweigh real-life experiences. We are humans, we were never meant to be sitting in a chair all day. Go into the world, be courageous and I promise you'll never regret it.
