In spite of the advancement of technology in the past decades, the worldwide web brought much convenience to our daily lives, to the extent that it replaces
books
on many occasions, specifically, the education section. There is a controversial discussion about whether the
internet
would replace
books
as a
platform
to learn. In my opinion, despite the paperback
books
have their role in the school, the efficiency brought by the
internet
would eventually replace the need for
books
. We will discuss
this
possible trend in the forthcoming paragraphs.
Firstly
, the
internet
provides a more efficient learning

such
as Kindle Reader and IPad. In some developed countries, the school has been using these electronic devices to replace
books
. It has been proven that both teachers and students are benefited from it; teachers could easily access many
internet
resources
such
as websites and photos, and
hence
it enhances the ability of teachers to give information to students.
Secondly
, the
internet
is a better learning
platform
,
that is
able to store up more academic resources online. In the past, it is extremely difficult to store up paperback resources, given its size and the
cost
of upkeeping; the condition of the
books
would easily affect by humility.
However
, ever since the appearance of online digital
books
, schools are allowed to store up thousands of
books
without any
cost
of upkeeping.
For instance
, in 2014, the
first
digital library was built in a university in the US. It has storage for over 1 million digital
books
.
Some commentators argue that despite the tremendous advantages brought by the
internet
, it is still difficult for it to replace physical
books
in the near future for it has a higher
cost
on equipment. I agree with the difficulties for
internet
tools to replace all
books
, especially in some undeveloped nations the
cost
of setting up
internet
tools and devices is extremely difficult.
However
, it is predictable that in the near future the
cost
of
internet
equipment will decrease due to its massive production. Nowadays, the price of purchasing a computer is lower than that of 10 years ago benefited from the popularity in the market. The
cost
of
internet
equipment is foreseen to decrease in future, and
hence
it would eventually replace
books
.
To conclude, there is no doubt the advantage brought by the
internet
. It would eventually replace
books
as a better learning
platform
.
