In the future, nobody will buy printed newspapers 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.
The number of
books
or newspapers
will soon decrease because free online media has become more popular. This
essay agrees with this
initiative because online media provides real-time information
and it is convenient to store data online.
The primary reason, why the internet is a more effective medium than printed books
or newspapers
is that websites can be updated anytime, while it takes months to publish a new book
or a day to publish a daily newspaper. Web
surfers
are exposed to more updated information
on business
threats than printed newspapers
or book
readers. further
, web
surfers
are faster to find a way to sustain their business
during an economic crisis. For instance
, the BBC business
podcast site uploads a new podcast every six hours. They can get the most up-to-date information
about business
disruption; as a result
, they can change their business
model and survive. By comparison
, books
or newspaper readers have to wait for at least 24 hours for a new printed newspaper by BBC. Hence
, some are unable to survive the crisis.
The second
reason, why the number of web
surfers
has been growing is that online data storage
is more convenient than book
storage
. Online storage
enables web
surfers
to access millions of online sites anywhere anytime. By comparison
, book
readers can not store millions of books
at home. For example
, law students in Thailand are required to read hundreds of textbooks during their undergraduate years. Most of them prefer to read e-books
from the online libraries because it is convenient to store all of their textbooks in their shared dormitories which have limited space.
In conclusion, the ubiquity of the internet will soon make books
or newspapers
unnecessary as online information
is more up-to-date and online storage
is easier.Submitted by praneenortao on
