Books. Now, you would think: "Why should I buy books, when there is so much information available on the Internet for free?" People can literally find out pretty much anything at the simple click of a mouse.
But how many times, when you've searched for something on the web you just came up with a listing of sites containing junk information, completely unrelated to the subject you were interested in?
On top of that, there's the time factor. Yes, time is becoming a scarcer commodity. People don't have the time to search the Internet in order to find the information they're interested in, let alone to read it once they have found it. Time is money.
That's why it pays off to have information handy and available. In one place. In a single, pocket-size book you can consult whenever you want.
Because, let's face it. There are certain kinds of information, even important information, that you only need in specific, real-life situations, then and there. Not while you're online.
That's why good old-fashioned paperbacks never die.
They get worn out.
