Newspapers will remain the main source of news in the future and the Internet will not have any effect. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
Some people think that internet networks will not replace newspapers in the future, and will not become a main source of news. I strongly disagree with this point, and suppose that oppositely, the internet will fully replace newspapers.First of all, the internet has already become one of the most convenient and accessible ways to be aware of news happening around the world. Day to day humanity is trying to find more ways to make life and data sharing easier and faster, and unfortunately, in that case, newspapers will be replaced by other publics in the nearest future. As evidence, at present, newspapers and magazines are being published much later than their competitors and even every one of them has its online version, which each person has free access to.

Resultantly, a multitude of professionals have been superseded by robots. It is my contention that technology is a multifaceted phenomenon with merits and demerits simultaneously.
