Newspapers and books are outdated. Why do some people believe this? What is your opinion?

#newspapers #books #people
As we move into the 21st century, an increasing number of
people
 have begun to believe that
books
 and
newspapers
 are not just less popular but considerably outdated. There are some valid reasons for
people
 to think so.
However
, I am quite unconvinced and so disagree with the statement. The reasons for
people
's perceptions and my opinion are discussed
further
. Referring to
people
's view, the principal reason for them to believe so is due to the technological advances in
this
 aspect. With the advent of television and the internet, getting information or entertainment has become the quickest, easiest, and the audio-visual manner. The news on the Media is updated hourly and sometimes there is live coverage too.
This
 does not happen in the case of
newspapers
, they contain what is called yesterday's news once published.
Moreover
, in the case of
books
, fewer
people
 choose to read for pleasure nowadays.
People
 want instant gratification and three of the modern technology rather than reading a book.
People
 certainly prefer to watch a 3-D movie or play a video game. Explaining my opinion, the foremost argument I shall put forward is that the
newspapers
 would never go out of fashion completely.
This
 is because they serve as a basic need of
people
 and are an important part of
people
's lives.
Newspapers
 or for all types of news can be in the relational language, can be carried anywhere, and are quite expensive. For
books
, it can be said that those for our word from friendly and want creative thinking still read
books
.
Also
, it is quite evident that
books
 are even today used in all academic and non-academic institutions as study material. All in all, it can be said that though numbers of newspaper readers and book lovers have decreased
in contrast
 to those using technology for the same purpose, I faithfully believe that paper-based paper-based materials shall never be out of fashion.
