It's an unequivocal fact that technological developments have exerted a huge impact on our life, especially in the way we obtain the information: surfing online news, ebook digesting, all on your smart devices. There is a believe that in no time the traditional publishing industry with printed products will die out and end up being replaced by the free online articles.
However
, in my opinion, I greatly disagree with the statement as it will be less likely for online media to replace traditional printings due to the following reasons:
On the one hand, traditional prints have existed for a long time and have definitely been a huge part of human life. The prime reason for its importance beside from the fact that it has long been the main means of information archiving activity is that it materializes the knowledge, the event being written into tangible objects.
This
is a psychological aspect that associated with the human basic needs of emotional attachment.
For instance
, unlike an ebook, which only exist in form of digitalis bits on your tablet, a physical book is something you can feel in your hand, something for you to treasure as it's a work of art.
Additionally
physical papers might be a healthier and more concentrated way to digest information as it's solely focus on the essentials, unlike most of the modern gadget like smartphones, which usually contain all kinds of distractions.
On the other hand
, digital gazettes and ebooks are incredibly advantageous and may as well become the
first
choice for readers in the near future.
First
of all, they are amazingly convenient and accessible. For examples, online threads can be achieved to your email if you subscribe to the presses, Ebooks can be ordered online through one click, not to mention, thousands of online materials provided by numerous platforms and sites are available for you on Google.
Secondly
, the manufacturing and printing cost is diminished to none, reducing the output prices, which may encourage more people to read.
Furthermore
, by
this
means, it will be extremely favourable for the environment as no tree is taken down and there is zero industrial waste being made in order to produce papers.
In conclusion, I believe that even though traditional printed books and magazines may be familiar and vital in our life for an extremely long period of time, it may be the best to adopt the new way of reading and strengthen
this
modern and potent industry by protecting the author rights and do researches wisely.
