In the era of information technology, many traditional ways of life have turn ed into virtualones, and the advent of electronic-books is a typical example. Young readers no longer restrict their reading to printed materials; instead it is common to see them reading over theirmobiles or ipad screens on a bus or in the street. Consequently,some suggest that printedbooks have become out of date and can be substituted by their counterpart in the electronicversion.

This sounds reasonable in this modern society. Despite the cut of cost on pa per pulp,printing machines and transportation of products, electronic books are much economic.If we take the environmental impact into consideration , e-books would show another advantage over traditional ones which consu me abundant plants. In addition, in theglobalized world, easy and fast acce ss to knowledge and information becomes increasinglysignificant, and this req uirement can be best met by e-books which spreadfaster and morewidely via the internet.

However, these advantages of electronic books do not necessarily mean that printedversion will be completely replaced soon. Printing is a safe way of savi

ng knowledge because it isnot easy to modify the original words once they are printed on paper, which is where the authority of published paper books c omes. As a traditional way of life, reading books plays animportant part in t he elderly population who are used to thumb a book from cover to cover. If printed books are not available any more, they would be the most frustrated group of people.There is the health issue to consider. Reading printed materi al is healthier than on shining screen for eyesight. Therefore, e-books are not suitable for children.

In conclusion, the fact that all writing can be stored electronically does not necessarilysuggest the extinction of written books. The two forms of books can co-exist to cater fordifferent groups of people.
