Can Internet Take the Place of Paper Media？

There is a trend that more and more people incline to surfing the internet. They， in a relatively faster way， search update news， seek information they need， or download literary works such as love stories and science fictions. However， it is impossible for Internet to take the place of paper media.

Internet reading is indeed faster and easier， bringing the effects of not only entertaining but transience. As to the academic study， it can just provide one-sided and superficial explanations or analysis instead of a comprehensive knowledge system. As to the information， you cannot cast your full trust on internet because it can be anonymous and without any censorship. Many college graduates， who preferred to the method of internet reading， have to hurry to make up for further knowledge in some field. This is just the result of “reading malnutrition” caused by only reading on internet.

Therefore， it is undeniable that internet plays a more and more important role in the modern society， whether in the daily life or study， but there is now way for it to replace the traditional paper books. And we have to emphasize more on the paper media to keep a balanced way of reading， then the function of both methods can be played to the full extent.
