'Going to the Library' - a phrase which signals a chore for many a student. One of these might just ease the pain a little.

WOW This is the first article I have re-steemed!
Maybe Tai Lopez was right...maybe books ARE the most valuable thing!

this deserves more likes! And this is on some serious Ghost in the Shell 2 shit! its an Anime about cyborgs where instead of libraries theyer are massive server cities that are the 3d foundation of the cyberspace world the characters live part of their life in. they show these massive server cities like cloud storage facilities but whole cities, kind of like now but even more! They showed how whole cities will just become AI run and robot maintained cybertron cities , like Zero One in the Animatrix...Something cool about old libraries and book depositories like this....Maybe Tai Lopez was right...maybe books ARE the most valuable thing!

Thank you!
Upped and followed. Against the tide of technological reliance, the turning pages of a book or several are, to me, a blessing. Long may they be held in such esteem.

these are awesome, wish i had a library that big lol

They are, to me, beautiful. As a bit of an old-school type, I far prefer to hold a book and turn pages.
Thank goodness there are institutions to maintain these.
Thank you for stopping by to comment. Much appreciated.

These libraries are like fantastic worlds. The architecture and decoration can be considered for hours, not to mention the books that are stored there. In my childhood there was no Internet, but there were wonderful libraries, I read a lot, it's a pity that modern technologies have supplanted such wonderful crafts as writing, binding and designing books. I can interweave books when my children were small, I weaved children's books into one big book. Children really liked it)

I agree - the experience of holding a book will never be overcome via a device. There is something intrinsically 'wholesome' about bindings, embossed spines and the turning of pages.

impressive visuals my friend

Yes, unfortunately, now students are not interested in visiting libraries. In my time I visited the library for the purpose of making abstracts, scientific works, as well as preparing for exams. I know that now students have made their work easier and use the website https://studyhippo.com/learn2serve-food-safety-management-principles-lesson-assessments/ , which helps them to prepare for various tests and exams. I went to this site and saw there food handlers practice test. As I can see, this test with answers significantly helps them to reduce the time to prepare for the exam.
