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?

In the upcoming decade, very few citizens are going to buy

books

or newspapers since they will have digital access, thanks to the internet, to the same content for free. I strongly agree with

this

assertion for two reasons which I will elucidate

further

in the passage.

First

of all, one of the major reasons for shifting to electronic

media

is that in the future

books

and newspapers are going to be expensive. The reason is deforestation and converting agricultural land into residential property due to which processing trees into paper will become expensive as the number of trees will decrease.

For example

, the cost of a newspaper in India in the year 2015 is 2 Rupees which becomes 10 Rupees in 2022 due to the decline in forest land.

Similarly

, the cost of

books

also

increasing day by day, while the price of internet packs are decreasing on regular basis.

Thus

people are transitioning towards digital newspapers and

books

Furthermore

, online

media

provides greater flexibility and accessibility to consumers as compared to conventional modes of reading.

Books

have weight and they can not be carried everywhere, while their digital versions can be accessed through smartphones which can fit easily inside the pocket. Electronic

media

provides flexibility in a sense as they can be surfed anytime and anywhere.

For instance

, we can access a year old newspaper with just a few clicks on a smartphone and can load thousands of

books

inside it. In conclusion, I believe that in future most people will shift to electronic

media

this

is cheap, easy to access and provides much more flexibility as compared to traditional print

media

People think that students should do work before hiring university study.To what extent do you agree.
In this day and age, most people including university students prefer to engage in work to earn a living. Besides, many of the university undergraduates do part time jobs while they are studying to compete with the job market. As such, I believe that it is far better for them to work prior to completion of studies.
