With the current advancements in
technology
 like e-books, some
people
 believe that conventional
media
such
 as books, newspapers and magazines will be soon out of date. I would argue that
although
technology
 is becoming more and more popular, printed
media
 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
eyes
 of the readers.
While
 reading an e-book for a long time could make our
eyes
 tired, paper materials affect the reader's sight lesser.
This
 is because most of the
technology
 products contain blue lights which cause a bad effect on the
eyes
 and could lead to near-sighted after long hours of use.
According to
 research currently conducted by a university in London, nearly 30% of
people
 have to wear glasses at a very young age
due to
 the overusing of
technology
such
 as computers or smartphones to read e-books and study materials. Another reason why there are always a certain number of
people
 preferring to use printed
media
 is that it's easier to keep track of where they are reading. By holding a book or newspaper in their hands,
people
 find it more comfortable and convenient to follow their reading trace by running their finger along the line.
However
, it's impossible to do the same with a smartphone because it's very small and sensitive which would be likely to suddenly be turned to another site because we hit the wrong button and
this
 could appear to be extremely annoying. In 2018 in the USA, an interview was carried out on
this
 matter and nearly 46% of
people
 admit that if they are allowed to choose, they would come to the printed
media
 for a similar reason. In conclusion, despite the recent development in the field of
technology
 like e-books, there are still individuals who would prefer to use traditional reading materials in virtue of their friendliness to the readers'
eyes
 and their being easier to keep track of
people
's reading pace.
