 when everyone with a smartphone can simply acquire anything after several clicks on the screen.
Therefore
, it is predicted that online

 or newspapers will completely take over the place of printed ones.
However
, I cannot agree with it. It is undoubtedly that digital material has its own merits and its market and audience will continue to expand in the foreseeable future.
Nonetheless
, there are several important features that could not be ignored about physical
books
.
First
 and foremost, no matter how time changes, the feeling of holding a real book can never be replaced. The sound of page-turning, the smell of ink, and the casualness of noting down thoughts on margins, all of which compose the wonderfulness of reading.
Secondly
, printed
information
 offers a sense of security. With the advancement of technology, the Internet can provide access to any
information
 as easily as it can erase them.
For example
, it has

 that companies and governments try to hide or modify news reports which are not favourable to them through bribing Internet oligarchs.
Therefore
, unchangeable paperwork is more reliable.
Last
 but not least, the price advantage of digital reading over physical
books
 has not been the same as it used to be. An increasing amount of online resources started to charge subscription fees as valuable
information
 should never be taken for granted. In that case, the ideas of free reading will gradually subside and people might turn back to original forms of reading. In summary, I believe printed
books
 or newspapers might lose some popularity for some time but will always take up a position in human needs.
