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?

Following the advent of the
internet
,
news
can be read online with one click or with a touch of a screen in
this
modern society. It’s argued that in the future, traditional newspapers or printed books will have no buyers because there is free access to online
news
or
e-books
.
This
essay totally agrees with
this
statement. I believe that as online publications can offer the fresh and latest
news
every hour while printed ones cannot and
also
there is no payment required, readers will choose the more convenient source of
information
in long run. As opposed to traditional newspapers,
information
can be updated very quickly online.
Therefore
, media outlets are now shifting online to meet the demand for faster
information
.
Instead
of waiting one more day to get the
news
updates, the convenience of getting the latest data online at a click of a
news
link gains more satisfaction from readers. For an instance, in Singapore, the
news
of a train breaking down or a car accident on road immediately came up on the
internet
, sometimes even together with the live videos and so, everyone can know what just happened in the country within a few minutes.
Hence
, many people prefer to browse their
news
online exclusively and
this
trend will surely continue in the future.
In addition
, most digital publications like the
news
or
e-books
are available for free worldwide. Since the
internet
has become widely accessible all around the globe, everyone not only has accessibility to the web to read
news
and articles but
also
can download the books they like without any payment.
For example
, when I need a book,
instead
of going to the book shop, I can just search it on the
internet
and there are always some websites which offer free
e-books
. Because digital media outlets are much handier than print publications, they would capture more and more readers who no longer read print media. In conclusion, it is obvious that people would continue to choose online newspapers or
e-books
over printed ones because they are close at hand as well as provide fresh
information
every minute without needing to pay any amount of money.
