    The line graph illustrates the amounts of products shipped in the UK somewhere in the range of 1974 and 2002 by four distinct methods of transport namely road, water, rail and pipeline. The quantity is indicated in million tonnes.

    Overall, the highest amount of goods was transported via road whereas pipeline remained the least commonly used mode of transportation over the entire period. Although there were some fluctuations, transport by road, water and pipeline showed an upward trend while transportation via rail reduced for a while before returning to the same levels.

    In 1974, around 70 million tonnes of goods were transported by road and this quantity increased to about 100 million tonnes towards the end of the period. Pipeline transported 4 million tonnes of goods in 1974. This figure increased steadily over the years and in 2002, about 20 million tonnes of goods were transported using this means.

    Both water and railways transported about 40 million tonnes of goods in 1974 and that quantity remained more or less the same over the next four years. Later, transport by waterways increased while transport by railways declined. During the period from 1986 to 1994, waterways transported around 60 million tonnes of goods. This quantity declined to around 50 million tonnes in 1998 and increased to about 65 million tonnes over the next four years. By contrast, quantity of transportation by rail declined to 30 million tonnes in 1984 and showed fluctuations until 1998 before rising again to 40 million tonnes in 2002.

    In recent years, digitization has become an essential part of our lives, and it has affected every part of our lives, including our tendency to understand. While an increasing number of people prefer to read news online, it has been argued that newspapers will continue to be the basic source of information and data. I disagree with this view. In my opinion, reading papers is a habit and later individuals will move to computerized news.

    There are many benefits of reading news on the web. The main advantage of online news is that it is up-to-date and convenient to read. Conventional papers are refreshed only once per day, yet their internet-based versions are updated continuously. Additionally finding data online is easy as anyone can undoubtedly see any topic and refresh the moment by entering a keyword. Furthermore, computerized news is easy to read and attractive because news seekers does not need to turn pages in paper to find information.

    In addition, Online news can be accessed for free or at a minimal cost, whereas traditional newspapers are costlier than their digital versions. For instance, the monthly subscription fee of most newspapers is more than Rs. 250, which makes them at least 80-90% costlier than e-newspapers. Last but not least, people around the globe understood the impact newspapers have on the environment, whereas online press does not require any paper or ink to publish. Hence, it is considered as eco-friendly.

    To summarise, People are love to read traditional newspapers. However, considering the advantages of digital news, I strongly believe that people will leave their habit, and switch to online news, which will become the primary source of information in the near future.
