Books
 have been an essential tool for
students
' education.
However
, there are other resources that can replace
books
 like films,
computers
 and games. From my perspective, these can be a perfect alternative to replace
books
. Nowadays,
due to
 the fast technology development, many people (especially the young ones) prefer using electronic devices
such
 as
computers
instead
 of traditional ones like
books
.
This
 has made an impact on their education too, some
students
 now prefer electronic resources rather than physical ones. A perfect example is that
students
 choose to look up

instead
 of going to the library and searching it in
books
, Google is the perfect proof of
this
.
On the other hand
, if schools decide to include the use of films,
computers
 or videogames they can encourage the
students
 to learn in a different way which can be beneficial for their education. Unlike
books
, electronic devices are more flexible because they allow people to process information in an easier way,
while
 with
books
 all your learning relies on your imagination.
For example
, if a student is not good at reading because he can not concentrate well or imagine what he is reading, he can watch a movie or find a video on the internet explaining it and
that

 flexible an educational resource is, the easier will be for the student to learn.
Books
 will always be a fundamental tool for
students
while
 learning, but because everyone has a different process of learning, schools should include films,
computers
 and games in their educational system.
