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.
