In the future, nobody wiil 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?

Nowadays, it is pretty normal to have an e-book or a tablet. Because of it, it is predicted to use fewer physical sources of knowledge, enabling access to

this

information freely. In my opinion,

this

statement is completely correct. I believe that publishing on the Internet is a cheaper way of distributing information,

in addition

, the internet brings new

ways

of selling without reducing its viability.

Firstly

, the traditional

newspapers

or books are always bounded to a costly process of manufacturation. Due to the different stages of its production, its costs are increased significantly in comparison to the cost of developing them online.

Consequently

, it is not affordable to sell these products traditionally, even currently and online selling or publishing methods are the only possible

ways

of their distribution. To illustrate, in Spain traditional

newspapers

' sails are less than 10% of their total profits, relaying entire profits on online participation. As well as I commented in the

last

paragraph, traditional sold books and

newspapers

are not affordable, but online distribution is not a non-remounarable way of distribution. Particularly, the

newspapers

and book authors have countless

ways

of patronage that can be,

for example

, including ads on their webs or applying a minimum subscription, lending affordable access to the consumers. Concretely, the famous novelist, Brandon Sanderson, used a known web of crowdfunding to subentione his

last

published book, reducing its costs and letting him know the expectations of his fans. To conclude, new technologies are always adding new

ways

of making sales, even for traditional medios. Due to it, these products are cheaper and can be consumed in different

ways

, adding flexibility to the

ways

of their remuneration.
