Sample Answer
The advent of technology undoubtedly poses a challenge to the traditional book-reading culture; however, I would argue that it has not led to its demise but rather transformed it. E-books and audiobooks, for instance, have made literature more accessible, catering to diverse preferences and lifestyles. While some individuals may gravitate towards digital formats due to their convenience, others still find solace in the tactile experience of holding a physical book, which sparks a deeper emotional connection. Furthermore, reading habits have evolved rather than vanished; social media and online platforms have expanded the notion of literature to include articles and blogs, engaging a broader audience. Consequently, rather than viewing the rise of technology as a threat to traditional books, one could perceive it as an opportunity for reinvention that complements rather than supplants the literary experience.
