In the past, people stored knowledge in books. Nowadays people store knowledge on the internet. Do you think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages?
In
this
day and age, more and more consumers use ebooks
and other kinds of text on the internet
instead
of buying books
at a bookstore. I personally believe that the merits of this
trend are more significant than the demerits.
On the one hand, there are certain drawbacks of storing information on the internet
. First
, reading texts on a smartphone or computer too much may cause some health problems. If one uses smartphones or other electronic devices too much, they may have eye problems such
as short-sightedness and astigmatism. Also
, sitting in one place and using a smartphone for too long may also
cause back and neck problems. Second
, there could be copyright issues when consumers use books
online rather than paper books
. Information on ebooks
is often less censored than books
published in the market, so many publishers and authors may lose profit from writing books
. For example
, in Vietnam, there are a lot of websites to read books
for free, some of which are really expensive but are free online.
On the other hand
, it is my firm belief that the benefits of consuming books
on the internet
are weightier. To begin
with, reading ebooks
is more convenient. The main reason is that readers can find their favorite

favourite
books
easily on the internet
so they do not have to go to a bookstore to find them. Instead
, they can stay at home and read their books
. Also
, people just need to have smartphones or computers and wifi and they can read books
whenever they want to read. Moreover
, the cost of ebooks
is lower than published books
. This
is mainly because in
addition to the cost for the content of a book, there are many other costs Add the comma(s)
,in
such
as paper, storing and shipping. For instance
, in Vietnam
the cost of Add a comma

ebooks
is lower than published books
.
In conclusion, although
consuming books
and information online has certain downsides, I am firmly convinced that the upsides are more considerable.Submitted by huynhtrucminhthu39 on
