我们不须要印刷版书本和报刊了吗？

More and more people are using computers and digital devices to access information, therefore there is no need for printed books, magazines or newspapers on paper. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

解析&审题

本次考题可以说是一个旧调重弹的话题：有了互联网，我们是不是就可以不要印刷的书报杂志了？类似的话题多次涌现，比如：有了互联网，我们是不是就可以不要旅游了，不要老师了，不要博物馆了......这类话题，我们可以遵照这样的写作思路：首先，互联网的确有很多上风（更便捷地获取信息，更生动地呈现知识，更丰富的信息......），但互联网并不能取代传统的东西，由于互联网有一些劣势（没有温度，信息常常有缺点，知识比较零星......）。
