23 April is World Day, and 23 April 2022 is the 27th World Book Day. The benefits of reading are self-evident, the book has its own golden house, reading books break through ten thousand volumes, the next pen is like a god, travel thousands of miles, read thousands of books. These sentences must have been memorized by everyone.
In today's society with the development of electronic technology, there are many fewer people who can calm down, hold a book in their hands, smell the fragrance of books and ink, and slowly taste and read. Whether on the bus, or in a public place, or even at a family gathering, the most common phenomenon seen by everyone is that everyone is holding a mobile phone, if there is no one around, reveling in their own world, watching happily, even the little doll knows to look at the mobile phone. The more complete the functionality of the smartphone, the greater the appeal to people and the stronger the dependence.
Because the mobile phone is easy to carry, the usage rate should be higher than that of the computer and tv, I have not done statistics, just a personal feeling. To tell the truth, I am also a mobile phone controller, usually writing articles, watching the news are also through the mobile phone, even exercise is also with the vibrato practice. The little doll will also grab the mobile phone and watch cartoons. The magic of the phone is too great for us to extricate ourselves.
The original use of the elderly machine of the elderly also joined this army, the elderly machine can only make phone calls, send a text message, has been unable to meet the needs of the elderly, change the mobile phone, young people can play smart phones, the elderly can play. Three or five friends meet, go, we go on an outing, put on a big red and green silk scarf, pose for a variety of dancing movements, silk scarves are multi-functional props for taking pictures, send a circle of friends, that vitality is no less than young people. Square dancing, photography, outings, universities for the elderly, the life of the elderly has become colorful. It cannot be said that smart phones do bring convenience to people, do not have to bring cash when going out, mobile phones are in hand, eating, wearing, living, traveling are all done, technology changes life, but also brings the joy of life.
The drawbacks of smart phones have also emerged, mobile phones are all-encompassing, people rely too much on mobile phones, the eyes can not stand first, people who wear headphones, hearing will also receive different damage, the desire to read will become smaller and smaller, the time for writing is also less and less, and the phenomenon of forgetting words cannot be ignored. In the past, our correspondence was the exchange of letters, and the words were full of care and concern, and the words were as warm as the face. Now it's WeChat that initiates face-to-face video chats. It feels close, but there is less communication between the hearts.
In his book The Joy of Reading: The Happiest Book of the 20th Century, Oxford University Professor John Carey put it this way: "What makes reading a book special is that the medium of books is imperfect compared to that of film and television, and the images conveyed by film and television are almost perfect and look no different from what it is meant to represent." Printed texts, on the other hand, are merely black marks on paper that must be deciphered by skilled readers to have a corresponding meaning. ”
Professor John Carey emphasizes that "it must be deciphered by skilled readers to have practical significance", readers should read with their hearts, read through the real meaning of the book, reading is also an ability, do not be impetuous, to feel the joy of reading. This kind of fun and meaning pays more attention to the spiritual and spiritual level.
World Book Day is the most beautiful April in spring, let us put down our mobile phones and read a good book, either silently or aloud.
Reading on weekdays is not like the homework assigned by school teachers, how many tasks must be completed, according to their own time arrangement, how much to read is not important, the important thing is to develop a good habit of reading every day.
Children are the future of the motherland, reading should start from the doll, adults please put down the mobile phone, accompany the child to read together, let the book accompany the child to grow up. Books are to open the window of spiritual wisdom, let reading become your lifelong hobby, with the company of books, you will not feel lonely, happiness will mix you around, cultivate sentiments, the heart and spirit are sublimated, there is light under the feet, the road will go farther and farther.
The fragrance of books and ink is not only fragrant in the spring season, but should be perfumed in the four seasons.
