How is reading online different from paper?
Candidate
Reading online is quite different from reading offline. Firstly, if somebody is trying to read on electronic devices, he or she requires A gadget and then an Internet connection or a Wi-Fi. Whereas when you're reading, uh, from a paper or a paper book, then you do not need any of these two things. So I think there's a huge difference and the eyes, uh.
