Some people claim that e-books and modern media would fully overtake conventional newspapers and magazines to what point do you agree or disagree?

It's a no-brainer that technology has evolved massively over the past few years, and one of the streams where it has a greater impact is digitalization. Many believe that modern

media

are the

future

, and we have seen significant development in that industry.

However

, some argue that conventional paper-based newspaper and magazines will have their existence in

future

as well. In

this

essay, I would like to put some light on both ideas and present my opinion on the same.

Firstly

, e-books have revolutionalised the market, and their

sales

are off the charts. As time passes, we can see that many people prefer e-books as they are easy to maintain, cost-effective and much more sustainable. Not only do they save time and money, but they

also

help to protect the environment.

Moreover

, it is easier to access ebooks and modern

media

with a click of a button on smartphones.

Additionally

, they are stored in your mobile devices and

hence

, there is no need to maintain their physical

copies

.

For example

, one can read news or magazines while travelling to the office on tablets without worrying about hard

copies

. Once you are done reading them, you can

also

delete them and

thus

saving space.

On the other hand

, conventional journals and magazines are important too. While the other half of the society cannot afford to buy smart gadgets, they prefer to read newspapers to gather knowledge and news worldwide.

Furthermore

, There has been a study recently which manifests the fact that people who spend more time on smart gadgets tend to have a weaker version, and

thus

some prefer to use hard

copies

rather than soft

copies

.

Although

you may see a decline in newspaper

sales

of the newspaper worldwide, in some countries, the

sales

are still quite good.

For instance

, In some south Asian countries, newspapers are still preferred over digital

media

. To conclude, In my opinion, Since digitalization is the

future

where we are heading at quite a pace, I strongly believe that e-books and modern

media

are the

future

. They might overtake conventional newspapers and magazine

sales

. We can see that it is already dominating the industry.
