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?

The future predicts people will stop buying physically-published newspapers and
books
as they have free access to these reading materials online. I partially agree with the prediction for some reasons that will be discussed in the following paragraphs.
To begin
with, I do agree that in the future, the demand for printed newspapers will be almost zero because a lot of news will be available on the internet without any charges.
Although
some media companies with online news portals are starting to charge users a

However
