I checked out the book Homo Deus from the library. I actually quite enjoy reading and this book fits perfectly into our inquiry, so it was something I have enjoyed reading and related to the class. I also have been involved with libraries for a while, and I think they are really great. In high school, I worked at my local library as a page, and my mom has been a children's librarian for the past 13 years. It is something that has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, from going to programs there as a child to working there, and I have always enjoyed my local library as well as the one at my high school. However, as I grew older, I stopped reading as often as I once had since I spent more and more time online. I now read a lot of articles online at websites like The Athletic and streaming TV on sites like Netflix. Physical books and newspapers have become less and less common for me as I get older, and I think there are pros and cons. I am still consuming information, I just do it in a different way. With documentaries like Fyre Fest and The Ted Bundy Tapes on Netflix and thousands of news sites putting so much content, I think I am learning more than ever. However, I still enjoy reading interesting books like Homo Deus. I think there is a lot of amazing stuff being written in every genre, and it is unfortunate that most people my age have stopped reading books.
