Ответы
Person A: I believe that the future of books and newspapers is digital. With the rise of smartphones and e-readers, it's likely that we'll see a decline in paper publications. Everything will be accessible online.
Person B: I understand your point, but I think there's still going to be a market for paper books. They might become luxury or collector's items, though. Just like vinyl records today.
Person A: True, but consider the environmental aspect. Digital media reduces paper waste. As for smartphones, I think they will continue to evolve and integrate even more into our daily lives, perhaps even replacing computers for most tasks.
Person B: That might be the case, but I think computers will still be around, especially for professional work that requires more power. They might become more specialized though.
Person A: What about TV? I think traditional television is on its way out. Streaming services and on-demand content are the future.
Person B: Agreed. And with social media, I think we'll see more interactive and immersive experiences. It could even merge with virtual reality to create new forms of social interaction.
Person A: As for the cinema, it might turn into an experience for special occasions. I guess high-quality home entertainment systems could make going to the movies less common.
Person B: Possibly, but I think live entertainment will always have a place. The experience of a live concert or theater can't be replicated at home.
