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?

It is often argued that
people
will rely more on online gadgets to read books and newspapers in the near future as they cost less than buying printed newspapers or books. I strongly agree with
this
statement.
Firstly
, getting
information
online cost less time and money. In a digitalized world, we are able to find the
information
we want to know in a matter of seconds.
Instead
of multiple steps we need to go through by using printed books and newspapers, we can get what we want just by writing one word.
For instance
, I want to know the newest update on Indonesian Badminton news. I would just have to type Badminton and Indonesia on a search engine and they will show me the answer that I am looking for.
Hence
, I think relying on online methods will be a practical way for most
people
to find
information
.
Secondly
, humans are social beings and
therefore
, after we read certain
information
, we would want to share it with
people
close to us. Using online methods of getting
information
will allow
people
to share it much easier with their friends without any extra effort. With just a click of a button, the
information
I read can be shared with a group of friends.
For example
, I have finished reading an online version of a book called "To Kill a Mockingbird" and I really want my friends to read it as well. I can just send the file or link through an online platform with just a quick click and they can access it in no time. For
this
reason, I believe reading things online would actually bring more benefits for
people
. To summarize, I strongly believe that most
people
will rely on reading things online in the near future because it is much more practical and efficient.
