Illusion or just being colourless

Printed Vs. Online (an understanding)

There never has been and I assume never will be a "defined comparison" between the knowledge we take up from the internet and any printed form.

I had been thinking that the value or use of a "printed" readable material will be lost every soon as we see everything becoming "online" very fast. But all of a sudden one day, lecturing my student on building their visual database in their own brain ... I said, "the reason I am telling you to go to a secondhand book shop and collect visually enriched books is that, there are loads of distractions in doing an online research, while on a printed form you are restricted to that particular view."

That! was the time when I myself realized the same. If I can use my imagination (in some places that is) and draw out something, is because while growing up our main resource was the "printed form".
