Some think that printed books are not necessary in the digital era, because all writing can be stored electronically. Others think printed books still play an important role. Discuss both veiw and give your opinion.
It is often believed that printed
books
are not needed as they are replaced by digital ones but some people
are pessimistic about this
. I partially disagree with this
, for printed materials are still important for those who are not able to use
technology regardless of the growing convenience of electric books
.
On the one hand, the progress of electric books
has reduced the importance of paper books
as they make it easier for readers to access them. In other words
, the prevalent use
of the Internet has allowed people
to access abundant reading materials at ease without a need for travel, which facilitates their reading habits. For instance
, an online reading platform called "Amazon" provides more than a million books
in various fields from sports to science, increasing the sense of satisfaction of people
. Thus
, paper books
are not necessary as they can find whatever books
that meet their interests.
On the other hand
, printed books
will remain significant for some readers with insufficient ability to use
technology. Indeed, people
especially seniors often face technological difficulties, making them disappointed and frustrated. Instead
of electric books
which require a certain level of understanding of how to use
gadgets, they are more likely to prefer a conventional style of reading based on paper. Consequently
, printed books
provide a sense of safety and comfort, which encourages them to enjoy reading books
without any distractions and worries.
In conclusion, I somewhat disagree that printed books
be completely replaced by digital ones as some people
are not able to take advantage of them due to
technological issues. However
, the importance of electric reading materials will continue to grow thanks to their wide range of topics.Submitted by mizuho on
