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?

In the future,

people

will stop buying newspapers or

books

based on paper because they will be able to read everything on the internet for free. In my opinion, I strongly disagree with

this

viewpoint because I believe that not everything can be accessed online and for free and not everyone is willing to give up on reading paper

books

.

To begin

with, it is important to acknowledge that not all articles will be available online, let alone for free. To be specific, yes, the Internet provides users access to almost every well-known book in the world, both national to international.

However

,

this

is not always the case, there are thousands of publications by local authors or independent artists who cannot be published under famous publishers,

then

it can hardly be found online, what is more, some of the research materials only have possible access at the designated libraries.

Although

it is easy to say

books

or newspapers are available online and

people

believe they can read for free, in reality, it seems to be contrary to

this

expectation.

Moreover

, it is unrealistic to claim that absolutely nobody will stop buying those traditional versions because there are always some

people

doing so, unless it is illegal.

For example

, a survey for reading habits of students in one college conducted in 2023 indicates that 15 of 100 readers choose the paperback version over the electronic one.

This

case highlights that, even with the convenience of digital alternatives, there is still a loyal customer base for traditional

books

, showing that no 'absolute nobody' stops buying these traditional versions. In conclusion,

while

some

people

predict that there is nobody will buy printed publications anymore because they can read everything without paying in the future, I firmly believe

this

prediction appears to be quite distant from what is likely to happen in reality, primarily

due to

limited online access to sources of

books

and newspapers, and the enduring passion of bookworms who appreciate the experience of owning traditional paper publications.
