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?

It is argued that a few years down the lane majority of the individuals would prefer to surf online for updates on news and to read novels which in my opinion, I agree with the viewpoint as digitalization is the

next

step in the

media

industry.

To begin

with, since reliable sources on current trends and ebooks can be

accessible

Replace the word

accessed

show examples

from personal mobile phones and iPad, ten years from now, everyone would enjoy reading through

such

smart devices.

In addition

, free stories and PDFs can easily be downloaded and a wide variety of digital websites can be found online.

For example

, research has shown in the UK that many top newspaper industries are investing heavily in the development of their website as well as launching free subscription services.

Moreover

, sales of devices like Amazon Kindle and iPad have seen tremendous growth as is a new favourite device for many. Another reason in my view is that information on the internet is far more updated.

This

also

enhances their experience as they would not have to wait as the latest news keeps streaming on apps.

For instance

, during the World Cup series crowd was able to see real-time score updates.

Furthermore

, sales of newspapers would decline in future as everyone will get details on their smartphones and social

media

. For

this

reason, I feel that utilization of printed copies will decline as everyone would be dependent on downloadable copies and ebooks. To conclude, I think print

media

will be considered a thing of the past as people depend more on free information and electronic devices to read from and traditional

media

will not be able to compete with digital

media

.
