Some people say that Ebooks and modern technology will totally replace traditional newspapers and magazines to what extent do you agree or disagree.

#people #ebooks #technology #newspapers #magazines
Digitalization has crept into almost every field today and
as a result
, some folk expound that modern technology which includes Ebooks will replace conventional newspapers and magazines in the future. I agree with
this
 notion, as the developments in technology have been immense and have already taken over a majority of the aspects of our life, as it has many advantages. I shall
further
 elucidate my opinions on
this
 viewpoint in the paragraphs to follow.
Firstly
, in
this
 current era of modernization, almost everyone, which includes young children and older individuals, uses one or the other gadgets. Personal appliances are a daily necessity for job purposes among working individuals or study purposes among students these days.
People
 prefer to use electronic equipment nowadays,
such
 as Laptops, phones and tablets for reading
books
 online, to keep themselves updated about the current happenings and for entertainment purposes, whereas, a few years back
people
 bought
books
, used the library and used to buy newspapers.
Secondly
, being in a 'click and flick' era, we have easy accessibility to anything and everything with just a click of our fingers.
In addition
, another reason for opting for Ebooks over hardbound paperback
books
 is the portability. Since reading
books
 online does not involve the tedious task of carrying them around,
people
 can use them anywhere and at any time conveniently.
For instance
, studies have shown that individuals prefer to be kept engaged

 while waiting during their travel time and
as a result
, they take up the easily available options of reading a book online or the latest advancement, which is listening to a book online. Technology has given rise to applications
such
 as 'Audible' which makes
this
 possible.
Furthermore
, the recent pandemic has
also
 changed everything upside down and even the schooling for children was and still is, being facilitated through e-learning methods. The use of
books
 by school and college students has
also
 declined considerably.
However
, there may be
people
 who still prefer to hold a newspaper in one hand and a mug of coffee in the other, and read the main headlines or
people
 who enjoy the aura of a book newly purchased. These
people
 might be the ones who cling on to the traditional ways till a change becomes a necessity. To conclude, we may
thus
 say that,
,

show examples
eventually
people
 would end up choosing the modern methods of telecommunications as it has a lot more advantages, makes our life easier and
also
, does not consume much time or effort in getting access to.
