Introduction
Recent years have witnessed an increase in the number of people reading online news on the Internet.
However
, it is argued that traditional newspapers are still important to the ways humans approach the news. Linking Words
While
I accept that Linking Words
this
perception is somewhat justifiable, I believe that Linking Words
this
idea is rather less convincing as the Internet has become increasingly dominant Linking Words
due to
the benefits it offers.Linking Words
Body paragraph 1
On the one hand, newspapers could be beneficial to some individuals because of several driving factors.
Firstly
, the cost of buying a newspaper is quite cheap compared to buying a smartphone with a network connection to read information online. Linking Words
For example
, in Vietnam, a newspaper sells for 0.5 dollars Linking Words
such
as The Police, The Young, and The Sport, many times lower than the cost of a local breakfast. Linking Words
Therefore
, it is easily accepted as something every day. Linking Words
Secondly
, it is perfectly suitable for middle age or older. Linking Words
For instance
, we can easily have our elderly neighbours read printed magazines on their porches, drink a cup of coffee, and chat with each other.Linking Words
Body paragraph 2
On the other hand
, there are a host of compelling reasons as to why I am convinced that paper magazines will be less important in modern life. First and foremost, it is very easy to access a huge amount of information from all over the world, with just a mobile device or a laptop. Linking Words
This
amount of news is simply free, and updated continuously, Linking Words
instead
of having to wait at least a day like traditional ones. Linking Words
Furthermore
, the smartphone market is very diverse, with prices suitable for everyone and increasingly easy to use. Linking Words
According to
a statistic in The Young publisher, more and more people own smartphones, from young to old, and Linking Words
this
percentage is growing by an average of 5% per year in individuals 30 years aged and 10% per year in over 60 years old. Linking Words
Consequently
, more and more people are changing with the flow of time, including their behaviour towards state-of-the-art technology.Linking Words
Conclusion
In conclusion,
although
it is irrefutable that newspapers are of certain importance to some age groups, I would contend that they would hardly continue to be the most crucial source of information because more and more individuals will be drawn to the Internet.Linking Words
