For several centuries, mankind got used to carrying about physical materials, from scrolls to inks and the modern papers.
In the past, professionals had to struggle with the task of moving bulky materials and stacks of books wherever they may go. This was true about lawyers and doctors since their profession required constant reading and research, therefore, whenever they were making professional trips, their books would get a good chunk of the carriage. This was stressful, but these professionals had no other options than to keep on with the herculean task every now and then.
Fortunately though, the 20th century arrived with some technological advancements which saw the slow or rather faster than expected digital innovations. The birth of computers and the internet drastically reduced the stress and suffering of people who needed to read and research constantly. But things did not work exactly that easily throughout the 20th century as people still had to struggle with stacks of books and DVDs since they couldn’t carry about heavy computers, and internet connection wasn’t as rampant then as it is today.
It was extremely relieving when the 21st century arrived with lots of moveable gadgets and fast internet connection. This improvement also brought along a virtual world where almost every type of learning and commercial activity can be done. This of course is the reason dilju.com exist, that is to provide easy access to learning and commerce.
Below are few among tons of reasons to embrace digital products such as ebooks, online courses, etc., more than ever before.
1) Durability:
Using physical products such as books and DVDs means that you have to constantly live with the threat of losing those expensive materials to rust, water damage, rodents, fire, etc.
On the other hand, your digital products would be safely sitted in your email or the producer’s website, or anywhere it is meant to be. The threat of malware is hardly a problem in this instance.
2) Less Expensive:
Physical products are usually more expensive than digital ones especially since printing and general production costs needs to be recovered from the sales. But digital products only have to bear the market value. For this reason, buying a digital material means that you’d be saving more on the actual price, this is because even if a product costs $120 on the digital market, if it were put up for physical grabs, it would cost higher than that because production and distribution costs must be considered.
3) Portability:
Instead of carrying about stacks of books, you’d simply carry your mobile phone or laptop where you have gathered thousands of materials. Now imagine yourself carrying thousands of physical books.
4) Easy Access:
If you’re like me and most people I know, you’d need to constantly research and find things you had no idea existed. Having digital sources means that you’d easily locate answers in a shorter space. Having digital sources also means that you could always access them whenever you want to without having to go home or anywhere to ransack and find your materials.
Digital sources can be accessed by simply inputting keywords even when you may not exactly know where the source is located or which material you should seek. But that is not always the case with physical materials, you have to turn the pages of old dusty books in order to find what you’re searching for, and of course, even if the pages are indexed, you’ll at least need to have an idea about which book or material to search in the first place.
5) Faster Learning:
These days you can always learn at your own pace and leisure as long as digital sources are concerned. Many real schools are fast establishing online presence in order to facilitate learning and make it easy for those who do not appreciate the rationale behind mandatory physical classrooms. This means that you can always do things at your own time and even faster than your peers, and sometimes you might get to decide what to learn and what to skip, often you can always go back to previous sessions.
Conclusion
It is very true that the virtual world has come to stay and would only improve, therefore embracing and normalising digital products and commerce is one of the biggest favours you can do yourself today, you can learn more and as much as you want without needing to build a 500 square metres library of books you might never get back to or remember what their name was.
