It is argued that in the future, nobody will have a tendency to purchase newspapers or books as every one can stay informed and read everything they wish throgh social media platforms without spending money. There are a numerous factors that contribute to this matter. In this essay, I will explore some of them and explain why I agree with this claim. To begin with, many individuals enjoy reading books and newspapers and they find it not only a pleasant experience, but also a nostalgia. They believe it is an authentic experience that cannot be obtained by reading books online. However, by developing technologies and emerging cutting-edge innovation, I believe we will witness the disappearance of paper-based information. Undoubtedly, it is both easy to access and convinient to carry when it comes to using e-books. For example, if you wish to buy all of the Harry Potter books, you do not have to pay for them anymore or carry those heavy books since, they are accessible through the internet. Furthermore, it is possible to access to a milion of news only by one click while the amount of information in a one printed newspaper is almost limited. Also, news is more up-to-dated in the online form, as a result, people can keep up with the current events. To illustrate, if you wish to check the weather conditions, you can easily pick up your phone and search it. So, I think in fifty years,due to dominance of social networks and internet, most of printed newspaper will have been vanished. In conclusion, although reading books and printed newspapers can give us a sense of nostalgia, I belive they will replaced by their online counterparts in the near future.

The first and foremost reason is easy access to all sources in Internet. That is to say, individuals capable to visit numerous sites where e_books have been uploaded, to download their targeted book. For example, in recent year in Iran, in 2020, it was done a comparison research between bygone era and current age which enclosed a fundamental change in method of people's providing their books.

In today’s globalized era, accessing information is available through many sources. Although I concede that online sources offer more accessibility to readers, however, I completely disagree that in the future nobody will buy printed newspapers or books, in three main areas. The first area of concern is digital accessibility. Although I acknowledge that obtaining knowledge from the Internet gives you more opportunity to face a vast amount of free information and storing data does not require any physical space, the problem is that not everyone has equal access to the Internet. As a result, this difficulty ensures a continued market for printed material among certain people. The second area of concern is older people. Older individuals may not be able to use some future technology. Day by day, with the advent of new technology and the invention of new devices, using them becomes more challenging for older individuals. Take any older person you know, some of them have learned to use technological inventions like smartphones, but they generally cannot use other modern gadgets. The third and most important area is preference. Some readers prefer the tactile experience of physical books and magazines. In other words, physical sources have sentimental value and cultural significance, and these experiences cannot be replicated. Take some book lovers as an example, instead of going to a library, they fill their studies with books and physical materials. All of this being said, not only does everyone have equal access to the Internet, but some readers also prefer to experience the sentimental value of physical books and magazines. Therefore, I completely disagree that nobody will buy printed books and magazines.

It is widely believed that printed newspapers and books will be not bought because people will use online devices for reading in free of charge. Although online devices will become more prevalence among people to read everything without paying, I completely disagree that nobody will purchase printed books due to some compelling reason that I will mention in this essay. To begin with, one of the reasons people will purchase printed books is that they are often more reliable. That is to say, if a book wants to be printed, it should be analysed by well-known scientists or Academics, thereby making it more reliable. However, online information can be manipulated easily, making people retail unreliable information. For example, students studying at universities, they need to learn information from printed books, leading to improvement in their success; this, in turn, preventing students from exposure to a wide range of unrelated data. Moreover, another reason is that using digital devices make people suffer from some problems such as eyestrain, bending, and distractions, leading to decreased their concentrations. For example, when individuals want to gain data online, they may often face with some advertisements, making them distracted; this, in turn, force them to strain more on the screen and suffer from eyestrain. While printed books can provide people with tactile experiencing, thereby improving their concentrations which can enhancing their comprehension skills. In conclusion, in the future, while individuals will be able to read everything online due to the internet without payment, I do not fully agree that people will not purchasing printed books, owing to more its reliability and improving concentrations during studying.

It is said that the popularity of hard copies will decline in the future due to the expansion of free online sources. Although a significant shift towards online resources is likely to occur, I believe that traditional reading methods will never completely disappear. On the one hand, with the growth of streaming technologies, most people, especially younger generations, tend to follow the latest news via the Internet and online platforms rather than reading conventional newspapers, as it is more convenient and accessible. For instance, individuals who are in a hurry may find it challenging to purchase and carry a heavy printed book to read during their limited free time. Instead, they prefer downloading PDFs and studying their books wherever they choose. However, the disappearance of hard copies is not feasible because reading paper books has already garnered a dedicated fan base worldwide. For example, the elderly are more likely to read printed materials because they can concentrate more effectively; staring at screens can be overwhelming for them. Moreover, some individuals are drawn to the nostalgia associated with physical books, as it is evident that printed novels still have a substantial following. For instance, when a new edition of a Harry Potter book is published, people often stand in long lines to purchase the latest release. In conclusion, while the trend of buying conventional books and newspapers is decreasing dramatically due to technological advances, in my opinion, the complete disappearance of traditional books is unlikely.

On the one hand, with the growing of streaming technologies, most people especially young generations tend to follow the latest news via the Internet and online platforms rather that reading conventional papers as it is more convenient and accessible. For instance, individuals who are in a hurry may find it really hard to purchase and carry a heavy printed book to read in their limited free time.

There is a discussion about the future of books and magazines. Some people believe that there will not be any printed newspapers or published books in the future. However, in contrast to this view, it may not be as possible as people reckon about the future. I agree with this prospect in some specific aspects that will be discussed in this essay. To begin with, nowadays, technology intends to make everything online. There are some advantages and disadvantages points about this approach and people may agree or disagree with this. On the other hand, the question is: is this practical in the future? As time passed, individuals preferred to read and write digitally more than using paper, therefore, in the last decade, many newspaper offices and book publishers were bankrupted. Moreover, using letters in offices is declined by governments and people, who care about the environment. So, this is something common that is supposed to predict in the future any type of paper-based content will not exist. Apart from that, as everyone knows, trees are the main ingredient in the process of making paper. Due to the lack of resources for timbers in the long term future, so, it will not be possible to consume our resources as common as people did. By considering this important factor, it may be more logical to imagine the world with no paper in the future. In conclusion, I totally agree with this assumption. there are some reasons such as: improving technology, environmental reasons, and lack of resources may tell us: that the possibility of abandoning parers in the future is significant.

Currently, many people use digital forms of books for obtaining information. Some argue that in the near future individuals will not pay for newspaper and magazines and they will use the free version of them online. I firmly agree with this opinion and this essay will explore the possibility of this issue. On one hand, using e-books lead to diminishing the amount of money that people pay for. Thus, families can allocate their budjet on other crucial parts of life. Additionally, reduction in consumption of paper causes stoping the deforestation. Consequently, it has essential benefits for our environment and eco-system. For instance, “Memar” magazine announced that decreasing in amount of paper for its magazine saved 100 trees in a year. On the other hand, financial issue is one of the biggest concerns for newspaper companies and they will not earn money if they do not sell paper. Additionally, many people do not feel comfortable when they use digital versions of books and newspaper. Besides, scientists’s reasearches indicates that illuminance of monitors has negative impact on human eye. For example, my father is a big fan of reading news on newspaper, however, he says that he is not convenient with reading news online. In conclusion, I reiterate that I prefer to read the books and news online because it forms a crucial role in protecting ecosystem and in the upcoming days we will see that many people tend to use new format of reading books and newspaper. However, it has some drawbacks such as jeopradizig human vision.

New technologies, specially internet, has made everything easier and more accessible like books and news. Compering to past, the rate of buying books and newspapers has been significantly decreased which is one of the result of digitalization. There are many benefits in online news and e-books which people notice them very soon. Specifically, individual’s behaviors due to reaching news online is so convenient; online news not only are free and easy to access, but also include different points of views of a new. For example, in a society which most of the newspapers forced to have the same idea about an event by government, online news could cover and discuss various aspect of it. Even though, online books have not been popular as online news yet, the demand for e-book had significantly increased. Some people still prefer physical books because of various reasons. Firstly, the value of hand books are much more than newspapers. Collecting and storing books in personal library is some’s pleasures and hobbies. Secondly, reading hand books has a nostalgic feeling and make more connection to human soul. For example, when someone have thumbed through a book; it feels more special than scrolling a screen.
