In the future, nobody will buy printed newspapers or books because they will be able to read everything they want online without paying. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

#future #nobody #newspapers #books
Many
people
 assert that print
newspapers
 or
books
 will become obsolete in the future because online reading material is available to everyone. Personally, I strongly disagree with
this
 belief, because printed
newspapers
 and
books
 will always have a place in our lives, and not all online reading material is free
To begin
 with, the claim that
people
 are free to read anything in an online format is mistaken. I admit that there are many sites that allow
people
 to read their content without paying anything.
However
, more than 90% of
such
 available information is unreliable and can be misleading. But there are
also
 popular
newspapers
, where you can read only reliable information, but you have to pay a fee to get access to that newspaper site.
Also
, there will always be
people
 who prefer to buy printed
newspapers
 and
books
 for many reasons. Reading online is often exhausting because it is difficult to concentrate because of the many advertisements.
Also
, some
people
 love the smell of paper and prefer to hold a book while reading. Or others tend to buy every book by their favourite authors, building their own collections. In conclusion, I strongly disagree with the claim that
people
 will no longer pay for printed
newspapers
 and
books
. It is
also
 wrong to claim that
people
 can read everything online for free.
