With the rise in digitalization there has been an ongoing rumor around that in the future nobody will purchase printed newspaper or books because they will be able to read everything, they want online without paying. This statement has created a worldwide discussion that if there’s a possibility of it or not.
Digitalization has the world many useful things to make life easier but in this we have forgotten traditional methods that at one point were irreplaceable like printed newspaper and books. In my opinion, reading books online can never book replaced with the joy of purchasing a new book and smelling the scent coming out of it and challenging yourself to finish a thick book or just reading newspaper at the calming environment of your home.
While it is also understandable why people might not be as interested to read books or newspaper in the current times. People nowadays don’t have enough time to enjoy reading at stationary environment so they like to carry their books wherever they go, some people might find it a hard task to carry thick books and newspaper so they would rather read in their device which they would carry with them throughout the day and can read anywhere.
On the other hand, some people would always prefer to purchase and read printed books and newspaper like elderly people or people or people who are generally enthusiastic about not only reading books but also collecting them. So, I don’t think so the trend of purchasing books would ever really die soon.
In conclusion, I disagree that in the future nobody will purchase newspaper and books because there will always be people willingly to read and purchase them.
