In the future, nobody will 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?

It is commonly claimed that physical
media
content
-
such
as printed newspapers, magazines or
books
will no longer exist and be replaced by free digital
media
. Personally, I entirely disagree with
this
notion.
Firstly
, not all contents are easily read using digital devices.
Secondly
, even though plenty of
content
is free online, some high-quality articles or
books
are needed to pay. Some
books
with rich images or diagrams are hard to read on computers. Children’s book is one example, which has plenty of colourful paintings to attract kids’ attention and give rise to their imaginations. In
this
case, if children read
content
online, the light from the screens might damage their eyesight.
Furthermore
, they are hard to focus on the
content
if they can’t touch or interact with those rich images.
In addition
, most

Therefore
, some people may choose to pay for some

platforms for their interests.
For example
, Amazon’s bookstore provides several free
books
to readers.
However
, the most popular or latest
books
are pay-needed. New York Times is another example that allows people to read 5 news per month, but to read more, readers have to pay monthly-fee to access
