Topic 9: 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?

Many
people
claim that in the future printed
newspapers
or
books
will be replaced by ebooks. Personally, I partly agree with
this
statement.
To begin
with, the online publication has many advantages. First of all, online reading materials are more affordable financially because they do not need paper, which is an expensive item.
People
can easily access the copy version of the book they want.
Moreover
, many
people
read online
books
because of their convenience. They are easily available and only need 1 electronic device
such
as a cellphone or laptop to store countless
books
.
For example
for its benefits, a Harry Potter book is sold in stores for more than 700,000 VND,
while
a copy of the book with similar content is sold online for only 60,000 VND. Despite the benefits mentioned above, there will still be many
people
using
books
or printed
newspapers
.
Firstly
,
although
it is easy to access, for some it is a problem. For the elderly, they update the news by reading
newspapers
, but accessing the web to read
newspapers
is a difficult problem.
Secondly
, there will always be
people
who prefer to buy printed
newspapers
and
books
as their hobby. Reading free articles on a screen is oftentimes a test of concentration
due to
the disturbance from constant pop-up advertisements or message notifications or just because their hobby is flipping the pages to read and enjoy the smell of
books
. In conclusion, I partly agree with the statement that
people
will no longer pay for printed
newspapers
and
books
.
