OPINION ESSAY

Nowadays in a lot of houses there are computers with internet connection, and majority of people with in a family know how to use a computer, therefore I think that internet  will replace books in daily life.

Firest of all, it's much easier to search for information on the internet than in a book and there are a lot more sources of information. In addition a lot of people are worried about the environment and the effects of global warning, which was caused by cutting down too many trees. So, as an environmental issue, is better not to make so much paper.

In conclusion, searching the information on the internet is very practical and reading books on the internet helps to reduce  the consumption paper.
