With the recent development in technology like e-books, some people feel that the printed media like books, newspapers and magazine will soon be a thing of the past. What is your opinion?

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as books, newspapers and magazines will be soon out of date.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.
