In the future, nobody will buy printed newspapers because they will be able to read everything they want online without paying. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

#future #nobody #newspapers
With the rapid development of technology, more and more reading materials
such
 as books, papers, and
newspapers
 are digitized. Though the number of printed newspaper subscribers is declining, they will not vanish in the future
due to
 the irreplaceable advantages of traditional newsprints and the unavoidable disadvantages of online
news
. People will continue ordering printed
newspapers
 for a better reading experience and easier accessibility.
According to
 many readers, reading long articles on paper is more comfortable than on a screen because of the convenience and flexibility of checking and comparing contents from different pages.
Moreover
, the advanced digital devices that online
newspapers
 live on are not readily approachable in many developing countries. 
Moreover
, online
news
 is not freely accessible, given the subscription fee and advertisements, and unsafe because of potential information leakage. A good article results from the tremendous hard work of reporters, journalists, and many other workers in the media industry, making
news
 impossible to be free. Users must pay to subscribe to prominent online
newspapers
 like The Wall Street Journal and The New Your Times to read their articles. Admittedly, there is free
news
 online, but it often comes with many annoying advertisements.
Furthermore
, these websites can be unreliable as they might illegally install some digital virus on our computers or smartphones and steal data from the infected devices.  In summary, printed
newspapers
 will continue to exist in the future for two main reasons. First, they provide a better reading experience and are more easily accessible in less developed areas.
Second
, digital
news
 can not be free and safe for the sake of subscription fees and potential data leakage.
