Cam 15 Test 2

While printed newspapers and books may become obsolete online, the author disagrees because the internet contains unreliable information from uncensored websites and pop-up ads make online reading annoying. Additionally, many people find printed text easier to read than screens, which can cause eyestrain, and books are appreciated as art forms especially by the elderly and students/workers who prefer printed books' portability without devices. Therefore, the author believes printed newspapers and books will remain available due to their physical appeal and credibility.

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?
It is widely acknowledged that printed newspapers or books tend to become obsolete as all kinds
of information will be free on the Internet. Nonetheless, I am totally against this assumption.
First and foremost, a compelling opinion to support my counter-argument is that in spite of
witnessing the unprecedented advancement on a yearly basis, the Internet has also been followed
by an ever-growing stream of unreliable news. By way of illustration, several websites have not
been heavily censored. This has led to publish wrong information. Furthermore, techniques used
in yellow journalism may include exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering or
sensationalism. Another significant justification would be some websites have put pop-up
advertisements in online newspapers, so readers might get a really annoying experience and lost
concentration.
In addition to the aforementioned argument, I also mention that many people find it easier to
read words off a page in lieu of a screen. Besides, being glued to digital screens all the time can
be extremely harmful and cause eyestrain. As a matter of fact, printed books have represented as
a form of art, like statues or painting; most importantly, the largest proportion of buying
traditional books has been occupied by the elderly because they are in complete ignorance of
using the Internet. Finally, some students as well as office workers love to read printed books by
virtue of being handy and independent of any digital device.
In summation, I firmly disagree with the statement that people will no longer buy printed
newspapers or books. Moreover, it is undeniable that thanks to its physical appeal, they will
invariably available and people still trust them.
