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?

Books
and
newspapers
play a very important role almost in everyone's life. With time the trend is changing and people usually read their interesting materials on the
internet
. In
this
essay, I will discuss, will we completely shift to online materials and due to
this
shift, what will be the impact on our lives. Nowadays, most of the
information
is available on the
internet
,
also
the life of that
information
is infinite. We can find even 20 years back
information
, research or any story very quickly on the
internet
and at the same time, it's available in its original form.
Also
, keeping all previous
information
digitally is not a big deal in the current technology era.
However
,
books
or
newspapers
paper have some lifespan, keeping hardcopy of all previous
newspapers
and
books
is an extremely difficult job.
For instance
, I still have all my research papers and
books
that I used in digital format in my graduation 12 years back. But I hardly have any of my assignment of notes hardcopy.
Besides
this
advantage of online material, there is a downside, we are losing the habit of book reading and the connection between
books
and us.
Moreover
, for the printed
books
and
newspapers
, we need a lot of paper and most of that paper comes from the
trees
. Now the world population is increasing and if we keep the habit of reading printed material, it means we need more copies of them and for that purpose, we will cut more and more
trees
. Reducing the number of
trees
is dangerous for our environment.
For instance
, cutting a lot of
trees
means increasing the earth temperature and it will badly affect in too many ways to our planet.
Furthermore
, I completely agree that to some extent, we have to pass
this
reading printed
books
habit to our upcoming generations because
books
give us the feeling of closeness and friendship. In the conclusion, people are now more comfortable reading
information
online, because it's easy to access, we don't need to keep
books
or
newspapers
with us all the time and take care of them. In the long run, almost everyone wants to read the
information
on the
internet
.
