Is the book disappearing?

When was the last time you read a book? Studies show that 75% of people prefer reading off a screen than off paper, this understandable considering this day and age. In rm 42 9/31 students have read at least one book on a kindle or off ebooks. When researching it came up several times that it is convincing cheaper to pay for an online book than it is to pay for a book from the shop. In addition to that, it is proven that authors write their stories on computers and then print them, so just think how much easier it would be for the authors if they didn't even have to print their writing. Printing books isn't exactly a cheap business either. In the USA they cut down 30million trees a year. The thing is that there is only a 50/50 difference, by that I mean that if we stick to using books then we keep cutting down trees, but if we use kindles and eBooks we are increasing the radiation.

In conclusion, I think personally think that switching to technology is a good idea, even though there is a 50/50 difference. What do you think?

Waitangi day

In the 1840's the treaty of Waitangi was signed on the 6th of February by 40 chiefs and the british crown in Waitangi, Bay of Islands but in a few years over 500 more people signed the treaty.

The banner was getting carried because the people didn't think that the treaty was honoured
Then in 1970 the protest increased because no one honoured the treaty.

Waitangi means Water tears, Wai = Water and Tangi = tears and the treaty has symbols and crosses on it because the 4o chiefs didn't know how to write so they just used symbols.
