In the future, nobody will buy printed newspapers or books because they will be able to read everything they want online without paying.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?
There is a projection that printed newspapers or books are going to
perish at the advent of online services that provides free readings to the
customers. However, I do not agree with this projection (바로 앞에 있는 표현이므로 가급적이면 대체해주세요!) for the two reasons
below.
First of all, there are
people who really like to read with their eyes and hands. For decades, we are
trained to read and study based on printed materials. That means, our habit is constructed
with printed newspapers and books. For instance, someone might like to
underline the important sentences on the books which is impossible in online
reading, the other one might while others may prefer like to collect books in his bookshelves which
will be empty when online books were chosen. Thus, if online publishing
companies cannot suggest us an overwhelming alternative, it will be hard for
many of us to change our old and friendly habit that we made with papers.
Secondly, online services will be charged in some way. That means, they cannot compete with offline publishing companies without proper cash flow that can make better contents. Online markets can only provide convenient medium of contents, not the contents itself. Thus, to compete with existing offline based publishing companies, offline publishers must spend some chunk of money. For example, to make a great novel, they must hire a talented author with reasonable rewards. If they want to write down a great article on their online news, then they must run an editorial team with expertise which costs a lot. Naturally, they will admit that the free of charge service is something that cannot exist. So (문장을 and but so로 시작하는 것은 좋지 못합니다.), there will be no cold game based on pricing gap between online and offline companies.
To conclude, considering the profound fundamental of paper based media in our lives and economic principles around the contents market, I cannot foresee only promising view of offline companies. To overcome the offline publishers, there is a long way to go.

Task 2가 이정도로 잘 쓰였으면, 앞선 task1에서 아쉬웠던 점도 충분히 만회가 될 겁니다. 가끔 동어반복이 보이는데 여기만 조금 신경써주세요! 수고하셨습니다 :)
