Printed newspapers and books have no future

Opinion Essay (formal)
Printed newspapers and books have no future.
The intention of this essay is to analyze the future of printed newspapers and books. In today’s world, many experts believe that printed press and books are bound to disappear. However, other experts believe that true readers prefer printed items rather than digitalized. In this essay, I will discuss both points of view. Needless to say, both of them are really interesting. So at the end of the paper I will express my own opinion about the matter.

On one hand, I would like to talk about why some people prefer digital newspapers or e-books over traditional books. It is widely known that some years ago Amazon invented an e-reader called “Kindle”, it was revolutionary. Kindle has some advantages such as: read whatever you want whenever you want. Also it is lighter than a normal book and it can store thousands of books in its memory. Newspapers have something kind of similar although in this age, everyone has a smartphone allowing them to receive information instantaneously leaving no need for outdated printed newspapers.

On the other hand, there are many people who like printed books and press more than anything. Traditional books or newspapers have something enchanted. For some people it is the touch or the way they smell. In addition, paper is more handy for example: to write down, underline, mark something, and so on. Moreover, it is widely demonstrated that students would rather study with printed books.

In conclusion, I believe that printed newspapers are bound to disappear eventually although books are different. I think younger people don’t need newspapers  because they grew up without them. In conclusion, elderly people are used to reading printed books causing them to struggle with e-readers but in my opinion, i believe it will be a while before printed books began to disappear.
