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?

#future #nobody #newspapers #books
There is a view that physical
books
 and
newspapers
 will be completely replaced by digital ones in the future as the latter enables
people
 to read digital material free of charge. I would argue that
while
 there has been an increase/rise in the number of e-readers purchased, some

 printed
books
 and
newspapers
 over digital ones. I will give my reasons below.
To begin
 with, as technology develops, there has been an increasing number of
people
 reading a range of
books
 and
newspapers
 digitally without charge.
This
 trend will likely be more common because in some technologically advanced countries, the majority of
people
 have access

to read
 free
newspapers
 on the internet.
As a result
, the popularity of physical
newspapers
 has dramatically dropped, which means newspaper companies will no longer print
newspapers
 in the future.
Instead
, they will most likely focus on their online presence.
However
, there will still be some
people
 who are willing to pay for physical
books
 and
newspapers
.
This
 may be because they do not want to give up a sensory experience like holding a book in their hands or flipping through the pages, which electronic
books
 cannot provide. To take myself as an example, I prefer to browse
books
 in brick-and-mortar bookstores rather than scrolling through them on my electronic devices like my smartphone as I love the feel and smell of paper
books
.
In addition
, I have been subscribing to the newspaper called Seoul Today for over 5 years
although
 I can read articles on the website for free. The feeling of a newspaper is a huge pro,
whereas
 reading articles on the screen seems to cause eye strain. In conclusion,
although
 physical
newspapers
 and
books
 will not be purchased as readers will access them for free, I believe that there will still be some
people
 who enjoy some of the benefits traditional
books
 and
newspapers
 offer.
