With the rise in popularity of the internet, newspapers will soon become a thing of the past. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In
this
contemporary world, most
books
and
newspapers
are accessible on websites. It is expected that in the future there would be no demand for printed
newspapers
or
books
, while everyone has access to the
internet
and can find their desirable context for free.
This
essay will shed light on
this
idea and discuss the writer's point. Online publications are gaining currency,
although
there is always a fee for the subscription. To put it more simply, there is always a defined charge for purchasing e-
books
or online
newspapers
.
However
, these kinds of publications are mostly cheaper than printed ones. In Iran,
for example
, the price of e-
books
is about a
third
of the printed
books
, because there is no need of paying for the paper and the ink.
Nevertheless
, payment for the author, tax,
also
profit are considered.
Hence
, free
books
and
newspapers
are rarely found on the
internet
and most of them include a charge.
On the other hand
, some people take pleasure in reading printed
books
and
newspapers
.
Moreover
, others may not be able to read online due to health issues. To illustrate, the smell of paper or touching it, even the sound of turning a page are so appealing to some people, so they never prefer e-
books
to printed ones.
Furthermore
, some people are suffering from diseases, which may deteriorate by staring at laptops or phones,
such
as headaches or eye disorders. One of my friends,
for instance
, can not look at a monitor for more than one hour, unless she would have unbearable pain in her eyes.
Therefore
, not everyone would go for online publications. To conclude, according to all I mentioned above, I disagree with the idea that the
internet
will be the substitution of printed
books
and
newspapers
, due to the free access to the online ones. Since every context is not free,
additionally
, the
internet
is not suitable for everyone.
