"Since everything is on the internet, I don't need books. . .right?"

WRONG!
The internet may be a great advance in technology, however it is not always as reliable as some people make it out to be. There are hundreds of billions of pages out there and it's hard to say if it's even a credible source for information. Sure there are good websites. A few that I've recentely learned about for Medical stuff is Medline Plus and The New York Times Health. These are credible sources. But the majority of websites aren't that reliable. I used to use Google for E V E R Y T H I N G until I learned that it wasn't as good a search engine as I thought it was. I never actually payed attention to the number of results that actually came up when i typed in something I was looking up. There are litterally millions of results for one word! How in the world can anyone choose what's true and what's fake on the internet with millions of results!?!?
Books are books for a reason. They don't just get published for being a bunch of balogna! Well informational and educational text doesn't anyways. Make believe and books for fun of course are made up :)
I just think there's something better about a book to get information than the internet. I do rely on the internet more often than not just because of the access I have to the internet is better than the access I have to books, but if I had to choose it would be books. I'd feel 100% sure about my information.

There's something just so... classy about a book versus the computer. (if that makes any sense lol) I like them 10x better.
