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?
Some
people
thought that paper-based reading materials
, such
as newspapers and books
will lose their popularity in the future, whereas online reading will be a new trend as an individual could access news or fiction without payment. In my opinion, I disagree with the statement because online reading materials
will not take over the position of paper-based reading materials
. Most people
would still enjoy flipping the page and reading printed books
gives them a chance to free themselves from the digital world.
On the one hand, people
will buy printed newspapers or books
as they feel relaxed when flipping the pages of the books
. Although
online reading could increase the speed of reading by just scrolling the page on the tablet, reading paper-based books
allow people
to focus less on the speed but more on the content of the books
. For example
, children could read slower when reading printed books
to concentrate on the story or illustration, while they would be distracted by the scrolling feature and the advertisements which pop out while reading. Hence
, free online books
would not win paper-based books
, which the printed books
would offer people
a better quality of reading.
On the other hand
, reading paper-based materials
allow people
to unwind themselves and reduce their time of sitting in front of the computer. Due to the hectic lifestyle of modern society, individuals have spent most of their time dealing with online materials
. So, it is crucial for people
to relax by reading paper materials
that benefit them. For instance
, one will prefer to enjoy their printed novel or magazine at past times as it avoids eye strain and feeling fatigued, which is harmful to their health in a long term. Thus
, paying for paper-based books
is better than online reading materials
as it promotes a unique way of a healthy lifestyle.
In conclusion, although
online materials
are free, we should acknowledge that too much online reading could lead to serious health issues and people
will easily lose their temper due to scrolling too much. Hence
, paper-based books
will be a better choice for reading although
they cost a small price from an individual.Submitted by jmqs4399 on
