However, I would like to point out that specialist literature in the form of books on a child's areas of interest is very expensive. The internet cannot completely replace specialist literature in book form, but in many areas, especially for children who are just starting out, it is a useful alternative. The Internet rarely provides such material in the form of PDFs, it is usually found in wikis or individual articles. Just look at how the world has changed. Coffee producers, for example, have always sold lifestyle products alongside their coffee, such as clothing. In the past, they also sold books, but nowadays you're more likely to find a smartphone case than a book among such additional products. One should not assume that children are generally interested in crap. They have a thirst for knowledge, and once they have found an area that interests them, they stick with it and engage with it instead of wasting their time with some rubbish from the internet.home | help
