There are so many different views on advantages of printed books or computers.Maybe,computers are more useful than books?
To my mind, books are the best way of our education because they help us to learn new information and concentrate on it.I believe that printed books are more convenient because they do not need electricity and you can take it everywhere.Moreover,despite books are cheap now you can go to a library and use books free of charge.
According to another opinion,computers can give pupils information very quickly and help them to write compositions and reports.Besides,pupils should not go out to look for information they need.
I do not agree with the opposite opinion.From my point of view computers are bad for human eyes and can cause diseases and headaches.Besides, not all books can be found on-line.
In conclusion,I would like to say that computers will never win in competition with printed books which will always be a part of human culture.Books are our friends and they give us an opportunity to get more knowledge in different parts of life.

Today computers are becoming more and more popular and a lot of people argue about the replacing of printed books by computers in the future. Some people are sure that computers are more convenient, however, others stick to the point that they do not make education simpler and easier.
Personally, I think that printed books have more advantages than computers. Firstly, they help us in self-education and develop our imagination and intellect. Secondly, reading is a good and useful way to relax after a hard working day. Besides, old book archives in the libraries give people a good opportunity to find some important information they need.
However, there are people who consider computers more useful. They think that computers are more convenient and do not require a lot of space in the luggage. In addition, sitting at home and clicking the mouse they can find almost everything they need.
I cannot agree with such opinion. I strongly believe that without the Internet computers become useless.  More than that, unlike computers, printed books do not need electricity, so you can take them everywhere.
To sum up, it is difficult to say exactly if computers will replace printed books, but to my mind, computers will coexist with books and all pupils will get good knowledge easily.

Nowadays computers are an essential part of our education and everyday life. For most people computers replace books, but for others books are still more important than computers.
     In my opinion, books will never be replaced by computers. First of all, books are certified sources of information. Encyclopedia and dictionaries are controlled by specialists; while in the Internet people have fewer opportunities to check all of available information. Moreover, if we read books, we are not distracted by unnecessary advertisements that we see at almost every page of the World Wide Web. Besides, for me it is more pleasant to go to the library and choose books rather than to sit alone at home in front of my computer.
     However, not all people can agree with my opinion. Firstly, they consider that computers do not require a lot of space in their luggage when they travel and study. It is very convenient for them. Secondly, such people say that in the Internet we can find almost everything we need.
     On the contrary, computers have lots of disadvantages. To begin with, computers need lots of additional lines and gadgets such as chargers and loudspeakers. So if you want to take with you your laptop you need more than one bag.
     To sum up, in spite of all the advantages of computers they can never replace books. While working on our computers we lose a magnificent sough of books' pages and a pleasant smell of fresh printed paper.
