In the future, nobody will buy printed newspaper 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 #newspaper #books
In the age of technology, the internet plays a crucial role in providing information to readers all around the world. With
this
 major development, some say that printed newspapers or
books
 will become obsolete since they would be available free of charge online. Personally, I think that physical
books
 would still have value in the future, while newspapers would fall into irrelevance.
First
 and foremost, printed literature would still exist since there are laws preventing them from being available online for free. To make an example, most authors would register a copyright for their literary works.
As a result
, it would take 70 years for their works to be able to appear on the internet without charge.
Furthermore
, some readers prefer to read actual
books
 to e-
books
 since it does not produce blue lights which could damage the eye. For that reason, reading a normal book is more relaxing and viewers could spend more time on it.
On the other hand
, absorbing
news
 through the internet has become a norm in many countries. Since newspaper requires resources to produce physical copies and to deliver them to residential areas,
thus
 it is less economical for companies to compare them to virtual
news
 articles.
In addition
, it is
also
 more convenient for citizens to catch up with the
news
 online. To illustrate,
instead
 of going out to get a paper every morning, they can look through the
news
 via social networks. To sum up, actual copies of
books
 and newspaper are slowly becoming obsolete, while
books
 still have some defining qualities that could keep them relevant, the way that people can learn the
news
 around the world is no longer through newspapers.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
