. 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

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-

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,

is not suitable for everyone.
