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 coming days, it is said that people tend to read the
information
on the
internet
for free more than purchasing physical newspapers or
books
. I considerately disagree with
this
opinion and I will discuss it below. Obtaining
information
online without any payment is going to benefit society. It helps to spread
information
wildly and fast.
Firstly
, consuming a wild range of news offers a large number of people, especially those who can not afford the cost of news, many opportunities to gain adequate knowledge they want.
Furthermore
,
information
could be transmitted ubiquitously with the
Internet
, no matter where we are.
As a result
, there is highly likely to be a large trend towards gaining
information
online without any charge.
Nevertheless
, I believe that buying physical
books
and newspapers would be mitigated but not be totally replaced. There are still some great values of printed
information
which worth being purchased. In the
first
place, the less we pay, the cheaper
information
would be.
For instance
, publishers maintain neutral status and the accuracy of
information
depending on the payment from their readers,
instead
of a corporation
that is
going to rig the market by controlling the
information
for their own profits. What’s more,
information
would never be limited to the lack of equipment,
such
as the
Internet
wire or devices. For people who live in a remote area without
Internet
access, physical
books
are still the main resource of
information
. In conclusion, getting
information
on the network could be a clear tendency, but in my view, buying physical
books
still has certain advantages which will not be surpassed.
