Newspapers are less important nowadays because we have up-to-date access to the news on the internet. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#newspapers #access #news #internet
Newspapers are becoming less popular and less important than before in modern times, because we can get up-to-date news on our mobile devices,
such
 as phones and tablets. As for myself, I partially agree with
this
 statement, and I feel that it mainly depends on maturity level, as I will explain.
First
, when we consider young generations, it is basically true that newspapers have a less important role to play. Younger people have grown up in a digital world and use computers as it is quick, effective and easy to gain information.
Although
 the newspapers are published in the early hours, the news continues to spread throughout the day, and
this
 is available on your phone where you can follow news stories. Youth of today

.
Nevertheless
, the opposite is the case for older generations. Newspapers have become part of our national identity in many nations. In some countries, the newspaper you read will represent your political views, as well as your general ideas and beliefs, and
this
 is significant.
Furthermore
, elderly people might not be as comfortable when using the internet on mobile phones, and prefer a newspaper's nostalgic feel. Technology can be terrifying to some individuals, as we often feel afraid of change. In conclusion, as
youth

 of today gets older, newspapers will probably be even less relevant, as most people will be very comfortable using mobile devices.
However
, in our present world, it is still too tricky to be certain for
this
 claim to be true.
