Internet or Books???

Rampant internet cafes, mushrooming bookstores, e-books, newly released edition of books, which do you prefer?
There are lots of people right now wether or not a student prefer to use internet cafe in research, reading books and article. But still if you are going to check the bookstore it's always 'fully occupied'. If you're going to ask which one is better? The good ol' days of school or the modern day research?
In internet we can easily get what we want and print it right away. You can even copy the whole page with just a snap of a finger 'presto' you already have your research. But how about the effort of reading the book? Come to think of it if you have already read the first few paragraph then you will just copy it without reading the whole article and no more intrernalizing of what the whole article is all about, unlike with the books you have all the effort to read it, and internalize it but the thing there is, it's so tiring to write all those stuff, you might get lots of erratum in writing the whole article, (well photo copy might be the answer over hand writing )and sometimes you might get an outdated book which will give you less informative article.
Librarians and book worms really do insist to still use books as a good source of research and be involve in reading rather than using internet,because doing the research polish our mind and body coordination, it doesn't practice the immobilization.
Internet savvy's side said that with the use of internet it makes our life faster and have a lesser burden of work.
Now' YOU CHOOSE' it's up to you as a user , on which one makes you comfortable the one that makes your reasearch faster or the one that still practice the good 'ol days.
