Tom Nicholson has made a great point in the article “Vocabulary on decline due to fewer books.” As technology continues to grows, we all have our tendencies to seek talent rather than grabbing a book to read. He explains that importance of having a well balanced vocabulary known in using it towards getting a job, writing research papers, and continuously using a dictionary and thesaurus as our best friend.
In my perspective, I truly think that we all ignore the value of a dictionary and thesaurus especially since we have internet access to the internet on our handhelds and computers. With technology continuously growing, I believe that technology can make its turn to reach out to all of us expanding the way we use words. A great example of that is the iPAD.
