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?
In tandem with the rapid development of technology, e-
books
nowadays are considered to be a controversial topic that draws great attention from publicity. While
many people
argue that people
will gradually read books
online without paying instead
of buying printed books
, I still do not support this
situation due to
two essential reasons.
Firstly
, it is apparent that printed books
still play an important role in human life because they have many features that do not appear in online books
. For instance
, traditional books
provide people
with good senses of reading such
as smelling, touching,etc. Moreover
, many individuals consider buying and reading printed books
as a lifestyle, so they do want to put their own books
on their bookshelves to show their wisdom and knowledge to others. As a result
, it certainly seems that there will be still many people
preferring to purchase printed books
rather than read books
online without paying.
Secondly
, reading online books
without paying can significantly lead to a decrease in the publishing industry's development speed. Specifically, when people
do not pay for what they read, book writers and publishers will have fewer incentives to produce more high-quality books
due to
the lack of resources. Furthermore
, this
situation also
results in an increasing number of reading books
without copyright, which has extremely negative impacts on the publishing industry in general. Especially, it is said that until now there have not been any comprehensive and effective solutions to tackle the aforementioned issue. All the reasons above can explain why I do not agree with the situation that people
will not buy printed books
and newspapers because they can alternatively use e-books
.
In conclusion, because of the many important roles of printed books
and newspapers and wanting to ensure the development of the publishing industry, I do not support the circumstance that individuals will read online books
without paying rather than buying printed ones.Submitted by hklinh2792001 on
