Before the internet was accessible, books were the only basis we turned to for getting information. One seeks at the amount of information and speed with which one can get information regarding anything.
Internet is said to be as a worldwide computer network that provides information on many subjects. Nowadays, people are getting attached on internet to gather information because its accessibility. You just have to type a particular keyword in and it will give you a list of several websites that relates your topic. However, one must indeed be careful in picking information on the internet because there are websites that are unreliable and can be faked or false. Everyone can publish a website and writing anything in it which may completely be defective and changeable. Thus, people rely on internet for an easy and fast research.
Book is a piece of writing that contains information. Not a lot of people have plenty of books at home, right? Commonly, others borrow and use books from libraries. Some people do not use books for study because it is difficult to look for the right book because you need to browse books one by one that you think has the certain topic you seek for to find it. However, there are libraries that have websites where you can look for books online as well. Professional book writers are knowledgeable about what they write and there are many steps before you can publish a certain book so you can be ensured that your source is reliable and trustworthy.

You can copy-paste a certain article for your information then print it right away which make it easier. A huge amount of time is allotted to get information in books. You need to find the perfect book and you may need several books but with only one topic. And you have to write the evident and certified information, but indeed it is more trustworthy.
