Reading
Do you think digital reading will completely replace print reading? Why or why not?
No, I don't. First, people can absorb more information when they read printed materials. Readers of print books can remember more of the plot than the readers of e-books do. Second, digital reading may cause screen fatigue. With print books, people don't have to worry about any of that. Third, people are less likely to get distracted when they read printed materials, but people who read e-books tend to get sidetracked more easily.
