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?
The development of technology provides easier and cheaper access to reading materials. There is a popular opinion that someday
people
will stop paying for books
and newspapers because they will get them on the Internet for free. But the future is here and people
are still buying books
, also
physical books
are known for their smell
. These facts make me believe that we will continue to purchase offline books
.
To begin
with, we have been living for more than 2 decades with internet access and a whole new generation has been raised with electronics. In spite of this
, there are many young folks who still prefer physical books
. To illustrate, 79% of students choose to read printed fiction literature, according to
a recent survey by "ITMO" university on book preferences. Respondents say that it is due to
the feeling of leisure, they want to have rest from the screens that surround us everywhere. Furthermore
, youth-oriented stores such
as "Marwin" (the most popular chain of stores in Kazakhstan) make around 20% of their revenue by selling books
. Moreover
, about 35% of space is devoted to paper materials such
as books
, articles, anime etc. Correspondingly, the popularity of printed literature is timeless.
Likewise
, nothing can replace the wonderful smell
of books
and the magnificent joy of touching them. For instance
, the smell
research by "Harvard" shows that the aroma of paper is most people
's favorite
. Particularly, contacting and feeling the Change the spelling
favourite
smell
of a book increases dopamine levels by 15% along with
other hormones responsible for happiness, whereas
zero growth occurs while
reading e-books
. Subsequently
, people
are way more likely to go for paper versions of books
to fulfil their free time needs.
In conclusion, people
will continue to enjoy reading physical books
and will be willing to pay for it as well as
they still pay for other hobbies. Perhaps it will be one of the things that will keep us in the real world.Submitted by kostennikov.danil on
