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?
Some
people
think that in the future nobody will buy printed newspapers
or books
since everything can be read on the Internet without a fee. Personally, I totally disagree with this
statement for several reasons.
To begin
with, although
ebooks have risen in popularity, traditional newspapers
and books
are still able to sell because of their characteristics. Firstly
, book lovers still collect physical books
for their libraries for the feeling that ebooks could not bring to them. They love the feeling of turning each page and hearing the rustle of this
action. Secondly
, physical books
are less detrimental to the eyes of the reader compared to online reading on an electronic device. If the bookaholic spends too much time reading online in an incorrect way, the blue light from phones or laptops can cause optical diseases such
as myopia.
Secondly
, people
still have to pay for the copyright of online reading, which still boosts the development of the printing and publishing industry. It is not likely that people
can read anything without paying, especially high-quality content. Take the example of Atomic Habits by Jame Clear, even if it is an ebook version, people
still have to purchase it on Amazon to read it. Purchasing this
kind of intellectual possession also
can be seen as a way to protect the rights of the writer, reporter, and author.
In conclusion, the argument that printed newspapers
and books
are obsolete and people
can read anything online without paying is misguided. Printed newspapers
and books
will still be allocated in the market because of their characters and not everything will be read freely as a result
of their copyright.Submitted by nguyenhuyena9k18 on
