Man, AI and the book in between!

The book, as simple as it is complicated, always seems to have stood the test of time, being browsed by many hands and read by many eyes.

But it seems that in recent decades he is losing his close relationship with man.

If technology is running fast, the book cannot keep up with it in its unstoppable run.

But what is the reason that Man no longer sees it as a reference point?

Man is an adaptive being, and in this non-stop world, the book is thought to maintain its slow pace, always deepening its learning.

But do we have enough physical and mental time today to dedicate to him?

After the explosion of social networks, emotional and social materialism, trends or models firmly fixed among the new generations, the book appears powerless.

The emotion or satisfaction that he has given to Man for centuries, today as we speak, cannot even be thought of. People have changed and instead of spiritual fulfillment, today they think about money and power.

If we consider the book as a product/goods in the market, we know that its low demand has continuously reduced the creative commitment of the authors and not only that, but also their stronger marketing.

Because in the economic language this would be explained by the dynamic developments brought by the market or competition, which undoubtedly replaces you.

As it is actually happening. With the new developments and trends that time brings, instead of the book, more extensive marketing is done for mobile phones or tablets, with which reading and spending time is embraced by everyone.

But what is the book in essence?

Beyond a few tightly connected pages, the book offers us a new and unknown world, a new perspective.

A voice which through the narrative, regardless of the location, time or reality of the content, reaches us in the simplest form.

Each word or phrase is part of a larger picture, which shows the challenges, hopes and desires of humanity.

In difficult times, the book has helped people not only to escape from a cruel and tiring reality, but also to get to know themselves and their world.

A quiet space where Man meditates in peace giving meaning to life.

Where the noise of society slowly fades away during the silent conversation in the relationship between the two reader-author worlds.

But the book has another power; the strength to change you as a person. There are others such as the emotional feeling, the stimulation of the initiative, the opening of new horizons, the improvement in articulation and the discovery of some truths that Man himself did not even know. These are some of the many factors that one benefits from the book.

But what is the reality in front of these facts?

An unintentional disdain by young people for the book, defining it as boring, unnecessary or a waste of time.

As long as social networks are the only book they read, the prognosis of a future more controlled and mechanized society will be easily more feasible.

The plan to format thought and curiosity is expected to align humans with the robotic developments that AI will bring, in the new era, that of the techno-man.

Therefore, the book is viewed with suspicion from technology and its developments. His role as a good and pleasant friend to us is expected to be diluted by the mediocre scrolling.

The remaining few seem powerless to bring it back into focus as it was centuries ago, a source of life and vision.
