In the future, nobody wiil 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?

With everyone having access to the global internet, some
people
suggest that printed
books
will be redundant in the future . since everyone will be able to read them online and for free.
Although
it is hard to deny the effects of those developments on our lives, I personally believe paper-based
books
cannot be completely replaced by e-
books
.
To begin
with, there are many advantages to printed
books
and newspapers that their electronic competitors cannot provide. Reading something on paper makes
people
get the feeling of what they are reading better. As a matter of fact, some
people
even say that holding a physical
book
and reading it makes them feel more relaxed. There are by reading a digital
book
, the reader cannot touch the
book
and all the pages look the same to him/her.
Also
, even if the e-
book
shows the page numbers, the reader still would not be able to see his/her progress in reading the
book
and
therefore
, the whole process will become boring.
Furthermore
, reading everything online requires looking at a screen for a long time.
This
causes
people
many health problems.
For instance
, seating still for hours leads to aches in the spine or neck and looking at a computer screen or a mobile phone will hurt the eyes in long term. These can even be followed by continuous headaches.
This
is why some
people
still avoid reading e-
books
. Since most
people
use electronic devices for work purposes, reading actual
books
or newspapers can be a good change for them. In conclusion, for the reasons mentioned above, I think printed newspapers and
books
have much more to offer to
people
.
Therefore
, their electronic competitors cannot fully replace them even if they are free and easy to access.
