What is Reading?
Amazing-X-Brain.2018-9-25 00:08 /
You would, I believe, probably, find a college student who has no idea about how many letters in the English alphabet before you find a student who is not in possession of a smartphone, which almost everyone around me carries with 24 hours a day. Indeed, smartphone seems to be useful in various situations, for instance, chatting with a friend far away or killing time when waiting in lines even checking if you drop an "u" in the word "quick".
People, actually, including me, sometimes read something that comes from almost everywhere with phone including Qzone or Weibo or BBS. One common point of those reading materials is that they only take a short time. When I said "short", I mean seldom can you spent an hour in one article because they usually contain just a few sentences, perhaps with a few pictures. An hour, is , on the other hand, even not enough for a single chapter of a book. As people often say, fragmentation reading (or something of that sort), is not beneficial for your knowledge, for you read it too fast and only the compressed version, which, for my part, is not that acceptable.
Before we continue, can I say something about games? There're 2 types of games I'm going to talk about. The first one owns a story based on history facts. One of the most classical in that sort is Age of Empires. You can repel British with Joan of Arc, you may also rove in distant lands with EI Cid. In a word, you will know many from historical figures, just as you spent many years with them, in this game. Another type of the games I would like to talk about is similar with the formal one, but one single difference is that all characters and stories in that kind of games are fictitious, such as Oneshot. In the fact, you can still enjoy a story. You're still acquainted with something you hadn't have before.
Then comes to the question: what's the distinction between those types of acquiring knowledge or something? If you told me you have read a novel which makes you cry, then what's the different from that you cry for a story in a game? We both fell our emotion. So can we say that there's really nothing different in those, to read something from books, from Internet, from games or something else?
The answer, of course, is no. It is true that you shall know more in a book than a game, although you would forget a lot as well, unless you paid highly attention and interest into it. Probably reading a book is to reading something from Internet what eating an apple is to taking a VC pill, which, however, doesn't mean that Internet reading and games are totally useless. You would surely acquire that you should be brave in a book, which, is, of course, also, shall be achieved in Age of Empires the game. These two ways, in my opinion, is nothing different since same result is led to. Obviously, minds are more important than knowledge. And I believe, if you put your heart into whatever you do, even you are just wondering on street, thinking something without a single word out of your mouth, you must get something in your brain. From this aspect, reading is no longer monopolized by books. What we really should do is to do everything with you heart, interest, and passion or anything you do is nothing at all. Reading is not to read words, but to read minds. If you can sublimate soul that belongs to yourself, anything you do could be regarded as reading.
Of course, knowledge is in equal importance as well. So don't let this article became the excuse why never you read a book.
