It is argued that, the value of pysichal books as a primary source of knowledge will be declined in future. I do personally agree with this statement, because the other sources of information becoming more and more popular.
Nowadays, everything is digitilized and convenient to use, while books take a lot of space and seems to be pricy. The online books can be downloaded easily and freely, also people have access to it in every place. In comparison, paper-based books are hard to take with yourself to every place. Survey held at SDU university showed that the highest number of students used e-libraries rather than physical ones, so global level univercities increase number of their online libraries.
Due to the fact of most people becoming aware of global warming causes another decline in the production of paper. In the result, a lot of activists avoid reading the actual books, and actively propogands this viewpoint, which is becoming significantly popular. For instance, articles related to natural trends are readed by millions of people; similarly, there are growing number of individuals living in minimalistic lifestyle to stop producing not needed waste. The intention to save our planet leads to consuming knowledge from the internet more often than from the conventional ways.
To conclude, accessiblity of the the electronic books and global awareness of human beings to reduce the unnecessary waste are turned them to penilize using paper-based sources of information. That is why, it is believed that the paper books in the future is going to lose its essence, while its roal will be played by internet resources.
