 very important role in the modern life. The most obviously important advantage of books is that they hold all

 gained by previous generations. People write books about their discoveries and inventions, which are gained through practice and
experience
.
This

 from books because it will help him to make his own inventions, conclusions and discoveries. Only using both books and ones
