More and more people are using computers and electric devices to access information. Therefore, there is no need for printed books, magazines and newspapers. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Some people think that paper-based printings are not necessary any more in modern society. In my opinion,

although

these computers or internet-based reading materials have their advantages, printed books cannot be abandoned. On the one hand, there are two reasons why using electrics are very attractive.

Firstly

, to state the obvious, modern technology enables us to gain message more convenient. We can obtain international news with the click of a mouse, and without ever leaving the home and

thus

gain a lot of leisure space.

Secondly

, in terms of

time

, you can get the latest

information

in less

time

. We live in an

information

age, an age of communication and connections. It means that the less

time

we gain the

information

, the better communication that we have. The less reflection

time

could

also

boost our productivity.

On the other hand

, I tend to insist that printing materials can be more suitable under some circumstances.

In particular

, there is no Wi-Fi or Internet in a remote area, which can impede computers to maximize their benefits. Meanwhile, the printed books are able to escape

this

difficulty, which allow people from remote areas to obtain

information

easily.

Furthermore

, most of the elderly who are behind the times would prefer to use newspapers to acquire news. The old would be more conservative and

therefore

they are not willing to change the way of their lives, including the acquisition the

information

, because they get used to read newspapers rather than using modern technology. In conclusion, I believe books or newspapers have to be kept to cater for some people’s needs, especially for the older and the people from the remote areas.
