Topic: Some people say that the Internet provides people with a lot of valuable information. Others think access to much information creates problems. Which view do you agree with? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
The Internet is widely access around the world and provides us lots of information. Whether the information creates more benefits or problem is a hotly debated. Personally, I think information would give us more benefits than problems for the following three reasons.
First of all, the Internet has the convenience of online shopping. Rather than having to drive to a mall and wait in long lines to make a purchase, you can now do all of your shopping with a few clicks of the mouse. In addition, the Internet made it easier for individuals to price compare between different online retailers to see which one offers the best selections and prices.
Secondly, with the help of GPS technology, the Internet can help map and direct you to almost every place in the world. You can quickly route to your location or find businesses in your area that may sell or provide you with a service you need. Today’s search engines are also smart enough to know your location and help give you the most relevant searches for your area. For example, if you need a plumber and search for plumber, you will be given local plumbers in your area.
Finally, the Internet provides us electronic communications. Before the Internet came into existence, to communicate with someone who isn’t in the same room as you, you would have to call them on a phone. Or if you wanted to send them a note you had to send a letter through snail mail. With the introduction of the Internet, we now have the ability to send and receive messages through electronic mail- virtually instantaneously and without the need of a postage stamp. Internet mails get in a few seconds in their destinations.
To sum up briefly, the ability to get information from the Internet has improved our lives in many ways. We can become more informed shoppers, have advanced maps and make electronic communications. The internet is one of the most important tools we have in modern society.
