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. --
