The statement that nobody will buy printed newspapers or books in the future because information will be free online is based on some assumptions. It could be possible if there’s

 online materials. As it stands today, not everyone has
access
 to electronic devices like mobile phones, computer etc. Even some of those that have it do not know how to operate them effectively. So accessing online books or newspapers will be a mirage if

Access

 which is sparsely available in many countries. Even in some places where it has penetrated, government policies witch-hunt its full implementation
thus
 limiting

 to few online materials.
Furthermore
, the idea of buying still exists even as of today in online materials as some newspapers or books cannot be accessed unless one pays or buys them.
Therefore
, whether it is bought printed offline or online, a payment is still made so no difference. In conclusion, I strongly disagree that nobody will buy printed newspaper or books because they will be able to read everything they want online without paying.
