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.

#future #nobody #newspapers #books
The popularity of printed materials will soon be rendered obsolete in years to come owing to the fact that society will be able to access every piece of
information
 needed easily and freely using cyberspace.
Although
 some people will not agree with
this
 view because of the sentimental attachment to printed
publications
 and the health benefits of using them. In my opinion, I partially concur with
this
 due to the fact that online
publications
 are easily updated and cost-effective. On the
one
 hand, people are constantly glued to their smartphones and laptops for free entertainment and educational resources. Despite
this
 though, the traditional way of obtaining
information
 will not leave the scene anytime soon because many individuals are sentimentally attached to reading from hard copies. They derive pleasure when holding a real newspaper or book.
Additionally
, reading from books is healthier,as it does not make the reader vulnerable to vision damage. Reading with an electronic gadget like an Android phone exposes
one
 to the radiation emitted by
this
 gadget.
For instance
, research carried out by National Cancer Institute proves that cellphone radiation causes DNA damage and cancer.
This
 is part of the reasons why reading from books is beneficial and cannot be eradicated.
On the other hand
, soft copy materials will become very popular in the future if not outshining the printed
information
 because it is easily updated. New
information
 is effortlessly updated for society's use thereby making it very convenient to be accessed anywhere and anytime.
Furthermore
, online sources of
information
 are cheaper because
one
 only needs to buy the digital device
one
 time off and afterwards sustain the streaming of
information
 using minimal charges.
This
 is much that can be said about the printed
publications
 which need to be bought and bought over time with new editions. To sum up, newspapers and books cannot be completely waived off due to sentimental value and health advantages,
although
 online
publications
 will in no time overshadow them.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
