Obviously a researcher will like to read a book

Books, always!

I have one Facebook account. But I can not manage time to open it more than once or twice in a month even for half an hour.

I can not sleep without reading a book at least for half an hour.

Thanks.

Books are the pond to swim and the face book is the stream charming in the cascade landscape.I prefer books to spend my quality time though in the facebook there are huge links for the updated information , news feeds, gala captions, new faces and the lovely old faces of my friends and family members.

Thats a good habit sir, for a professor and it should be continue in the long run.

Yes, thats right. There is another Quote about book.

“A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.” ― George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons

Thanks

My first choice is book & second choice is facebook.

J. M. Koli

I think thats right for a researcher/ educator. S/he should also be updated.

I don't use Facebook. I love reading books related to my subject.

I love books but I confess a certain obsession with chatting and exchanging material that makes me laugh with friends on FB. It is a welcome distraction when I have been immersed in research or otherwise preoccupied with a task. Since I work at home it is often the only form of communication I have apart from my pets. So, it serves a purpose for me. Sometimes when I have read a great amount of material, my brain needs some time to process it. So, I play Mahjong and that mindless activity lets my brain summarize the material I have read.

Same to me . I don't like face book much rather Research gate . I like book. You will surprise to to know the great Philosopher , poet , Play write & Composer Rabindranath Tagore's books are as like the book of religion . I like his books to read again and again.

Arvind Singh

I think thats absolutely right for a professor . But to be updated social medias are playing a vital role.

Thanks

Dear Colleague Nazia Asad,

I recommend science fiction writer Ray Bradbury's 1950s novel Fahrenheit 451 as to what becomes of a society where the love of texts has died. This novel is available on Amazon.

I am find of accessing content in RG than Facebook. In fact, its more productive reading books and to be on academically stimulating sites than to be on FB.

Books My friend and companion more than sixty years ago, I created and deleted a Facebook page for years ago, not my priority

Gloria Lee Mcmillan

Thanks for the information attached here. I think this book is very essential to read.

Regards.

Dickson Adom

Same to me friend. I also like RG than facebook. Sometimes its so boring and monotonous.

Books are always superior to Facebook which is superficial.

Houda Kawas

Yes , boos are our friend and companions and they are always be.

Srini Vasan

Definitely books are superior to FB . Books are like spouse and FB is the short-timed partner.

Books it I have time to really

Marwah Firas Abdullah Al-Rawe

Thanks for supporting books as like me . Books are evergreen .

Regards

I prefer books to FB. Books are more knowledgeable and reliable.

Dawood Mahdi

Thanks . Its quite natural

Always book and not FB. Both book and FB are not having the same values and purposes.

I do agree, my dear Otekunrin!

Facebook

Offcourse Reading Books and Literature. Infact some people find opportunity to read Literature and stories on Facebook. Regards

Books of course. Knowledge seeking individuals will definitely find books to be more useful than FB.

Ahamuefula Ephraim Ogbonna Shibabrata Pattanayak J. M. Koli Nazia Asad Beth Ann Fiedler

Thanks for your kind contributions. Definitely books are preferable.

Facebook is termed as social media. They were to socialized the world but they done its job invert. The FB broken the social life of people.

Obviously a researcher will like to read a book

@Muhammad Ismail

You are right . Always a researcher and a teacher will give preference on books

Ismail W. R. Taifa

Yes, it is proved in case of me as well. Books are more preferable.

Am a researcher,i love book so much.So i give it preference above facebook or any other social platform

Abiodun Olusola Omotayo

Thank you dear friend. Yes books are the loving tools for us.

Books are sources of knowledge not comparable to FB, however, low educated people may find some quick and simple knowledge at FB !

Yasser Jaamour

We always think that books are the main sources of knowledge sometimes based on research with good referencing whereas, information of FB is sometimes have to validity or references. But for amusement, FB is nonparallel especially by the young people.

Thanks

The book is the main learning source

Is it possible to compare incomparable things? In my opinion it's like putting a question "who's smarter: an artist or a scientist?" (eg, in maths or other exact sciences). I suppose, the first of them can get inspiration or even improve proffesional skills watching pictures, listening to music and so on (so, social networks could be really useful to him).

Books of course, because facts, reliable and in-depth knowledge may be obtained from it as compared to face book where anybody can post just anything ,correct or otherwise

Mihail Viktorovich Tabakaev

I think you are alright. Comparison should be accurate and with a standard but this is a situation in the worldwide, we cant ignore. Readers of the both are the same persons.

Haruna I Opaluwa

Its should be for a faculty member.

@ Md Zafar Alam Bhuiyan

I see I didn't ask strictly to your answer but I just cannot realize how one can read FB (list pages?). The world has changed. Yes. Moreover I suppose everybody uses social networks more or less frequently and normally, it's about lazytime (some kind of alternative to TV). When we mean work or scholarship I suppose it's about books.

Books are the main and others follow.

Mihail Viktorovich Tabakaev

Yes, I could go your understanding and I am agree with you always.

Thanks

BOOKs

Facebook is renewed and gives continuous communication

Neither.

I prefer Researchgate and yes books too.

Depends on your purpose; both are useful in different ways...

Maham Muzamil Firas Saadallah

Yes for the reliability and continuity books are dependable tools to the researchers whereas face book carrier unreliable and floating information.

Thanks

Of course books, it is more interested!

Interesting opinions!

Books ++++++++++++++++++

I never, ever use FB for anything remotely scientific or educational. In fact, I rarely use FB at all. It offers no value to me. Books, on the other hand, are immensely valuable and - if physical - don't need charging or special apps. Just a comfortable seat and good light :)

Undoubtedly, social networks are captivating, we were not prepared to drink so much information or for people, known friends and relatives to demand so much information.

This has made the use of this social network has become addictive, however, to respond strictly to the good question that makes us, we can respond with a new question, maybe two:

What does the social network that is mentioned contribute?

What do the books provide?

In the first case, unfortunately, valuable things are not always shared there, nor do we have greater options to avoid that siege. Honestly, I found some good things, but they are the least.

It is known that the digital natives, prefer in lesser measure, the written word in texts, prefer even less the written word in printed texts, are inclined more and more to use digital information, moving image, sound and immediacy of the multimedia. Printed books may be in decline, and I do not doubt it.

However, good books can be chosen more freely, or at least with a similar freedom we can avoid books that are not so good.

That is the difference, even today I prefer books.

Shibabrata Pattanayak J. M. Koli Arvind Singh

Facebook is the dirty doom for killing the precious time of the world.

Interesting question.

books

Books play a significant role in our life. They say that “When you open a book, you open a new world”. I believe that everyone would agree with this statement as books have become inevitable to mankind. For the majority of people, books are part of their everyday life. A book is like a best friend who will never walk away from you.

Books are packed with knowledge, insights into a happy life, life lessons, love, fear, prayer and helpful advice.

Through reading, you expose yourself to new things, new information, new ideas, new ways to solve a problem, and new ways to achieve a goal. Reading might help you discover hobbies or exploring things you didn’t know you like. Exploration begins from reading and understanding.

When you read you have more to think. Reading gives you a unique pause button for understanding and insight. The benefits of this increased activity helps to keep the memory sharp and the learning capacity agile.

Everything depends on how people make use of it. Facebook has its own merits and demerits.

Books allow easier readabillity
