【话题分类】
科技类
【题目解析】
题目大意：现在越来越多人用现代科技产品获取信息，所以纸质书籍、杂志或报纸没有必要存在。
这个题目为“观点类”题型，要求考生明确表达“个人观点”，可以分为“totallyagree”、“totallydisagree”、“partlyagree”以及“partlydisagree”。
需要注意的是：这个题目中有“因果关系”，即“同意”的前提是“因为现代科技产品的确可以帮助获取信息”，或“不同意”的前提是“即使现代科技产品可以帮助人们获取信息，纸质书籍仍然有存在的必要”。
为了逻辑论证简单，笔者使用“完全赞同”，即论证“为什么现代科技产品可以帮助人们获取信息所以纸质书籍没有必要存在”。
【写作思路】
Para1=题目改写+个人观点
Para2=支持理由1
Para3=支持理由2
Para4=重申观点+理由总结
