Why People No Longer Read Books | Between the Lines with Palki Sharma

Gone are the days when people sought refuge in libraries, engaging in the age-old pastime of reading books. Now, our noses are assaulted by the sterile aroma of freshly manufactured gadgets, emitting a dull blue light that promises everything and delivers, well, mostly cat videos.

As social media consumes most of our days, books have taken a backseat across the globe with many not even reading a single book in a year. So is reading dead? Palki Sharma tells you on Between the Lines.

something opposite happened with me, I’m reading now, after childhood days. And I’m motivating others to read too.

I read for 30 minutes before going to bed and it heals me😊❤️I love reading

[AshokKumar-hstn]

Have been an avid reader all thru,
still am at 84, and internet has whetted the appetite, it is such a help, never feel lonely, mind remains
alert, and it feels great to be always busy learning
I also manage to see most of your very well produced vids,
Wish you all the best

15 years of reading books every single day! Even if I come home late at night exhausted, I read at least for 10 min, if not 60. There's no better way to learn, evolve and relax than reading books. Please don't give it up guys. Even 10 min daily of uninterrupted reading of a book will add a lot of value. Keep reading!

There is no warm feeling than reading your favourite book on a rainy day, covered in cozy blankets with a cup of coffee in your hand. The smell of fresh books, hiding pieces of an old love such as dry flowers, old photographs, and hazy letters as bookmarks. Oh my my! How could anything digital ever replace that? Books are eternal gifts.

Plaki, amazing report. You up to the space, you go deep down in the ocean and all over the planet to bring us fresh news any political, economic and social affairs. Who can match you in the world of reports. You deserve the Nobel prize. My dear keep up you world class reporting. May God bless you!!!

I just love you, Palki…
The intelligence you exude and poetry in your writing secretes my creative juices.

I’m among the readers of the old books.

I run a community that emphasizes on reading as a way to fight poverty in Africa.

I’m currently reading “The 5th Discipline” by Peter Senge among others.

I can’t stop reading.

Thank you for sharing

Books are the gifts that can be opened again and again...no technology can replace the feeling of smelling a new book or sleeping with it!

[daniraspahic]

I love how Palki chooses these great subjects and does her homeworks so well.

[theotherside]

Brilliant! I had been thinking about this for a while now and wondering if reading was really dead among the youth. I myself am reading the 'Chip War' now which is a fascinating world of technology competition between countries.

[joelmutungi]

Beautiful take! The war to retain/extend attention spans needs to be waged fiercely.

[advocatesandipanmishra]

I am a practicing lawyer at high court of orissa. I can proudly say that there is no bigger weapon than books and pen. In our profession we do unlimited research plus travel as a result it has somewhat balanced life. Reading books drives the reader to another world. Thanks Palki Madam for raising such content🙏👍

[eclectichic]

I used to hate reading books as a teen. Now that I’m an adult I realised how important this habit is. I’m currently reading Chip War by Chris Miller 😊

[areplkr]

Sincerest appreciation for this masterpiece clip. May book culture flourish ❤. Thank you, Wion. Bless you!

[lazarusblackwell]

These days i only read what i MYSELF write.

Thats my greatest source of real knowledge.

[PanelDaze]

Book lovers unite! Started my journey back to books in lockdown and it has been a growing passion. Great video!

[nomiefilms]

I am reading three books;
1) Bhagavad Gita As it Is
2) Emma by Jane Austen
3) Diary of a wimpy kid(The Ugly Truth)
And I will not trade the pure joy of reading real books to nothing else..
Thank you First Post for this reminder 🙏🏼

[manjitkumar]

Well researched as always....god bless you....doing excellent journalism....love you ❤️
