Do you think that modern technology, such as the internet and computers will ever replace the book or the written word as the main source of information?

It is true that

information

technology

has grown rapidly in the past few years, and many people predict that it will develop faster in the

future

. Some people believe that

print

out books and articles will be replaced by

computer

devices in the

future

. To a certain extent, I would agree that the number of printed books will decrease significantly in the

future

, but I do believe that

hardcopy

hard copy

books will continue to exist in the

future

. On one hand, it is a fact that with the existence of the

computer

and the internet

technology

, people can obtain a lot of

information

. People would just open the device, connect it to a

network and

network, and

they could search all articles that they need. There are tens of thousands of websites which provide valuable

such

as www.

Besides

that, many news corporations

also

provide electronic newspapers these days like CNN or BBC, which can be read in the notebook, tab or smartphone.

As a result

, many people prefer to read the

information

from the electronic devices rather than to purchase the

print

out one.

On the other hand

, it is predicted that

print

out books, newspapers or magazines will continue to exist in

future

, though the number will decrease drastically.

Firstly

, not everyone likes to read an article through the gadget directly, since they think it is uncomfortable. They believe that the radiation of

computer

screen would cause

eyes

eye

irritation, and give a negative effect on their eyes' health.

Secondly

, it is undeniable that the development of internet

technology

is not equally spread all over the world. The online services would only be available in advance countries and in some major cities of developing and poor countries. As a consequence, people who live in the rural or remote areas will still need the

print

out version. In conclusion,

although

it is true that the number of electronic books and news has increased considerably in the recent years, but the existence of the

hardcopy

version will be irreplaceable. As some people do not feel comfortable in reading an article directly from the

computer

screen, and others who live in the countryside might not have the access to the

technology
