Some people say that the Internet provides people with a lot of valuable
information. Others think access to so much information creates problems.
Which view do you agree with? Use specific reasons and examples to support
your opinion.
Basically, the Internet was created as a platform for information exchange
and experience sharing. People could convey knowledge faster than ever before
through this media. So, the issue may not be the Internet itself but probably
depends on how people make use of this technology. If someone spreads
inappropriate message, like pornographs, it’s the person to be criticized,
not the Internet. As a result, I would support the viewpoint that the
Internet is a really practical tool for modern people in this competitive
world. Following explains why I favor this powerful tool in our daily life.
At the very beginning, as we could recall around late 90’s, the Internet
only provided simple access, like rough website introducing specific
information, maybe educational or commercial. It was really inconvenient to
search information meeting personal requirement, since we had to memorize a
long address before we reach the page. Later, a new concept was realized,
searching engines, which almost dominate our everyday life now. Originally,
this invention was designed to link pages. Somehow, they become stronger and
stronger to connect our life. The most famous example is Google, which
provides key-word website search, classification of pictures, and now even
satellite pictures of your house! In addition, abundant online resources
serve you to shopping online, meeting with your friends, and sharing your
pictures or feelings on your own blog.
Besides fulfilling our life with countless and practical messages, the
Internet also support us a brand-new platform we’ve never seen before,
wikipedia. It’s an innovation could possibly replace old, heavy, and
inflexible encyclopedia in the library. The most attractive feature of
wikipedia is that every piece on the website could be edited by anyone who is
interested in this field. Although not definitely accurate sometimes, it
promises the newest update of knowledge.
To sum up, nowadays the Internet links almost everything in our daily life.
Both virtual information and real commodities are available on this platform.
Also, as the Internet evolves with new ideas, knowledge could be spread even
faster and more convenient, just like what wikipedia is supposed to do.
