In the future, nobody will buy printed newspapers or books because they will be able to read everything that they want online without paying. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Whether
people
will purchase more printed papers or
books
in the future is the subject of many debates.
However
, some
people
think with the advantages of online
books
, why should we buy printed ones? I firmly agree with the second group’s opinion because online ones are more eco and user-friendly. The first and foremost reason for choosing online journals is that they do not harm nature. Printed paper is detrimental for trees as the process of making it affects the environment;
for example
, chopping down trees and using their timber are the worst damaging results. It is an undeniable fact that
people
are becoming more aware of the harmful effects of using printed paper;
therefore
, they probably avoid using the in the future. To give a good example of
this
, society in Iran is wary about buying paper
due to
the many informative advertisements that might be seen on television nowadays. Alongside being eco-friendly, online magazines and
books
are popular among
people
due to
its user-friendly characteristic.
In other words
, they are not as heavy as printed ones;
thus
, they are more convenient to carry.
Furthermore
, they have some adjustment features which let users change the words’ size to be read easier.
Therefore
, it has gained popularity even among the elderly with weak eyesight.
In addition
,
people
can download whatever they need in a short time and bookmark the pages that they are going to read.
For instance
, by using
this
feature, it would be easy for someone who needs to eat lunch with their family
while
reading an important article. In conclusion, I am in complete agreement that
people
will use less printed
books
. Their tendency to use online versions is increasing because of its advantages.
