Some people think that printed books are no longer needed in a digital era because all writing can be stored electronically. Others think that printed books will still play an important role. Discuss both and give your own opinion.

We now inhabit the age of information when “the third wave” has already reached all corners of the globe. Upon entry into the information age, the publishing field is undergoing a tremendous change. People have various views about whether printed books works should be replaced since all information can be saved electronically. While there are some benefits to reading ebooks, I believe that printed books materials are still indispensible indispensable.

Some people are strong advocates of abandoning printed books for the reason that, in such a digital era, computer can store all writing with at lower costs. Firstly, printed books are not environmentally friendly, considering that many trees are cut down to produce paper for those books. Secondly, ebooks are easily reached accessible compared to printed books. For example, it can be hard to find a printed professional book in a book store bookstore or a library; but however, once the book publication has its digital version, we can download it at anywhere in the world only if we have access to a computer internet access. Thirdly, printed books are fragile; fire and humid air can destroy them, and that’s that is why many important books in the history no longer exist.

Opponents, however, argue that printed books have unique character characteristics and should not be replaced. When holding a printed book, the ink smell and the feeling of turning pages can provide readers with a special atmosphere, and they can go deeply into the world of books. Thus, better memory, deeper impressions, and easier comprehension can be achieved. Furthermore, ebooks may not be a good choice suitable for children. Starring Staring at screens for a long time is bad for their eyesight, and becoming excessively reliant on computers at an early age may undermine their creativity.

From what has been discussed, although ebooks have many numerous advantages, printed books editions are still necessary and they will continuously play an essential role in our lives.
