Essay
- Printed books (ARGUMENT essay)
(essay
not checked by professional teacher)
Some
people say that with the development of modern technology printed books,
newspapers and magazines lose their importance. To what extent do you agree or
disagree with this statement?
With
development of science and technology it is possible nowadays to use other sources
of information instead of printed books and other publications. Some people
believe that the importance of printed materials is much lower than it was
in the past. I partially agree with this viewpoint.
[PROS -
books lose their importance]
In
today's world
printed books and newspapers are not as necessary as they were in the past because
in the Internet era almost all information can be found on the web. For
example, there are specialized websites with news, forums or even
encyclopedias. If someone is looking for information, uses Google search engine
for that. In addition, even at schools children are taught using
computers and in some schools printed books were not even introduced. Besides
that, there is a huge market of e-books which you can download to your e-book
reader for free or buy on websites such as Amazon.com.
[CONS]
Nevertheless, printed books or magazines have
many advantages. Firstly, they are used for teaching young kids,
especially below 4-years-old. In this case electronic devices are not as useful
as printed materials with images. Additionally, a huge group of older
people like reading morning newspapers drinking coffee meanwhile. This is like
a ritual for them and this is why they will never use iPods or e-books instead.
To sum
up, printed books
and press in general have a huge competition from internet websites and e-books.
I am inclined to believe that always there will be real readers with
love and passion to printed version of books or magazines.
