believe that conventional

although

technology

still appears to be useful in the modern world. One of the advantages of using printed
media

is that it produces less stress on the

of the readers.
While

reading an e-book for a long time could make our

This

is because most of the
technology

and could lead to near-sighted after long hours of use.
According to

research currently conducted by a university in London, nearly 30% of

have to wear glasses at a very young age
due to

preferring to use printed

is that it's easier to keep track of where they are reading. By holding a book or newspaper in their hands,
