 of online reading materials to everyone. Personally, I strongly disagree with
this
 belief because print
newspapers
 and
books
 will always have a place in our lives, and not all online reading materials are free.
To begin
 with, the claim that
people
 are free to read anything is wrong. I admit that there are many sites out there that allow
people
 to read their content without paying anything.
However
, popular online
newspapers
 like The Economist or New Scientist offer subscription plans for full access to premium features, while non-subscribers are limited to only a handful of articles.
Also
, most e-
books
 and other types of online content, if legally distributed, are only accessible for purchase.
In addition
, there are always
people
 who, for personal reasons, prefer to buy printed
newspapers
 and
books
. Reading free articles on the screen is often a big problem of concentration due to the interference from constant message notifications.
In addition
, many

 acquire printed materials because they value the experience of reading and collecting physical

people
 love the smell of paper or others are keen to buy up every paperback book written by their

 authors, simply because they enjoy creating their own physical collections. To sum up, I strongly disagree with the statement that
people
 will no longer pay for printed
newspapers
 and
books
. It is
also
 wrong to say that
people
 can read everything on the Internet for free.
