In the furture , nobody will buy printed newspapers or books because they will able to read everything they want online without paying. To what extant do you agree or disagree with this statement?

In the distant time to come, printed works will be outdated because all information will be free and available electronically to all.

This

is a statement

that is

imminent based on what we are experiencing at the moment. As

such

, I completely agree with

this

statement because of the

internet

's

impact

and the advancement in electronic devices. These points will be argued below to support

this

statement.

First

of all, the

impact

of the

internet

cannot be waved aside when talking about free

materials

. Most of the writers nowadays are converting their books to electronic versions and storing them online on a server, and with the

internet

, these e-books are accessible by anyone from anywhere and for free.

For instance

, with a single click, anyone from anywhere can read any kind of newspaper from the comfort of their rooms and it's for free.

Therefore

, the

impact

of the

internet

in making

materials

available online and free cannot be overemphasised.

Secondly

, we have sophisticated electronic devices that can now store soft copies of printed

materials

in large quantities.

This

has been seen to be much more convenient than handling large copies of dossiers with heavyweights.

For example

, a mobile phone with high memory capacity can contain the electronic version of the books in a school library. With

such

gadgets, printed

materials

are not needed when you have the convenience of carrying everything you need in your hand and accessibility at all times and even without buying it.

Finally

, electronic media will replace traditional media in the future and the contents will be available for all without paying.

This

essay completely agrees with

this

view because of the

impact

of the

internet

and sophisticated electronic equipment that makes the

materials

accessible, and available for free at all times to anybody.
