Even though the habit of online reading has been increasing, the most important source of information will be continuing to be the
newspapers
 for the biggest part of society. From my perspective, I totally disagree with

this
 essay, I will outline some arguments which support my disagreement.
To begin

 is a good example of unwanted behaviour.
Consequently
, they do not buy printed news as a way to produce less paper and less garbage, since it is thrown away after reading it. Another important consideration that contributes to my disagreement is because

 are not even reading anymore. With the advent of the Internet,
people

 reading it. If they cannot watch the news, they read push notifications from a newspaper’s app once they received it and
