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

✨ Do you want to improve your IELTS writing?
With the emergence of the internet,
newspapers
and
books
sales have drastically declined.
Moreover
, there are predictions that in the nearest future everybody will be able to access different contents online without
payment
. As much as I agree with the
first
claim, I strongly oppose the
second
part of an argument.
This
essay aims to discuss both claims. In the 21st Century, IT has become one the most important and reliable sources for finding information. As the world is connected more than ever and
news
are constantly changing, more and more contents are being offered online and are constantly updating, something that printed
newspapers
are not able to do. In the past many elderly people did not know use computers,
however

this
has changed and the majority of them are now days reading
news
and
books
online.
Also
, printed
newspapers
and
books
present a big burden for the environment.
However
, despite the easier accessibility of the different contents, many apps and
news
sources already demand
payment
for upgraded/premium services.
For instance
, even though, there are always some discounts and benefits for certain groups,
such
are students, not everyone can afford to pay the annual
payment
.
Therefore
, based on the arguments we can conclude, that everything online will not be free of charges. Overall, it is undeniable that online
news
and
books
will completely overtake paper-based
newspapers
and
books
.
However
, since nothing is free of charge as the apps support the platforms and provide the
payment
for the author's job, I doubt that in the future people will be able to find everything for free.
