Step 7: Solution proposal assignment
What is the problem?
Impact of a turn away from full works of
literature in favor of social media.
What do we know about the problem?
There is a wary thought process that social
media is going to take over full works of
literature in the near future. The public may
stop purchasing physical books because it is
easier and more time efficient, not to mention
less costly to search a headline on the internet,
than going out and buying a book.
What information do we need to solve the
problem?
People can create and attend literary Festivals
and Events. Attending literary festivals and
events, which often feature authors, book
signings, and discussions can inspire a love for
literature and expose readers to new works.
It is essential to make sure that there is a balance in this generation between the use of social media
and the love of full texts of literature. Social media can be a tool for promoting books and reading if
used properly but also limited so that it is not our complete source for information. The key is to
create an environment that encourages and celebrates literature, I think that festivals and events
are a good way to get people away from their screens and find their love of reading.
