Some people say libraries are important in society as a place to get information and use books. Others say as computers are advanced, libraries are a waste of money and resources. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Whether the relative importance of libraries and computers is a matter of debate. While there is a grain of truth in the assertion that computers are such useful tools, I side with the view that libraries can be a more reliable source to increase knowledge.On the one hand, those who argue that computers play a significant role might point out their convenience in storage. The main reason is that they are able to store more books than libraries since/as They have an extensive memory and the ability to connect to the Internet. Another reason why they hold this view is that people can download any types of books they need with their own computers. As a result, they can create their own libraries, which in turn, also save them valuable money and time. Therefore, those who prefer studying by computer rather than commuting to libraries are continuously holding this view.
