Some people think that politicians have the greatest influence on the world. Other people, however, believe that scientists have the greatest influence. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.

It is commonly believed that in the future people will refrain from purchasing printed
books
and newspapers as they will find all that they need online free of charge. In my opinion, I partially disagree with

online

to these websites one needs to subscribe either monthly or yearly. The amount to be paid for the subscription usually is not cheap.
For example

this
kind of payment and to link it directly to

the material to be read as opposed to buying a book or a newspaper physically,
this
is because generally a reader can
access
tons of articles and
books
online without paying.
However
, if you dig deeper you can find that most of these free materials are incomplete, and the reader will have to subscribe in order to get full
