For Aspiring Home Gardeners – Paper Books Versus Electronic Media
Article by James Southland
Pretty much anything can be obtained from the internet nowadays. However, there are a few good reasons for still consulting the good old hardbound book instead of relying on modern blog articles, and this article will explain exactly just why. First, blog articles tend to be short – something like 300 – 400 words long to make it easier for the online audience to read the whole work. This is a very popular tactic for many bloggers, as they are always battling for the attention of their audiences in an increasingly competitive blogosphere. However, such a length sometimes forces blog writers, or bloggers, to discuss material in a rather tangential way. That is, they cannot talk about any particular topic very deeply. To get around this, many bloggers choose to stick to a specific field. However, these articles still have that randomness about them. This becomes a problem for aspiring home gardeners, whose field of interest delves in matters that may warrant the need for a deep understanding of botanical concepts. Second, the search engine optimization movement – the never-ending battle for search engine supremacy – has led many to sanitize their blog to a point where it becomes nothing but a mere collage of words with no value in them. This is a sad development. To make matters worse, more and more people are going along that track. Real life books, on the other hand, are free from the commercial constrictions of blogs – they are not required to use a single keyword multiple times, giving the writer full freedom to convey all the information that he wants to get across. Furthermore, the treatment of the material is much more extensive as there are no word count limits. Third, books have a certain warmth in them. It’s like reliving the not-so-distant past and remembering all those slow and carefree days when life was so simple, when it was free of all the humdrum of urban life. Books can also be read practically anywhere, anytime without worrying if the battery is going to run out or whether one’s eyes will get too strained due to radiation. Nowadays, many people prefer to do everything over the computer. However, there are just those times when doing it the old way is simply, remarkably, better.
