Essay 84: Some people say that the Internet provides people with a lot of information. Others think access to so much information creates problems. Which view do you agree with? Use specific reasons and examples to support your option.
In the past few years, the world has been totally stepped into the “Information Time”, as a result of the computer popularity and internet rush. Currently, there is a widespread disagreement about the attitude to the Internet that whether it provides people with facility or creates problems. I believe the Internet to human beings is that water to fishes. Nothing in the world has the change of people’s life been more magnificent than the Internet. The internet technology makes it possible that people all around the world be able to share their information, which is the most important thing in 21th century. Our society is filled with the examples of successful phenomenon or events that benefit from the opportunity of information internationalizing. Mobile Digit, a small company of digital producing and marketing established in 2000 in Beijing, set a website to broadcast its products 5 years ago, and has become the forth large digital equipment company in China. What is more important, the advantages of the Internet also make full sense of common people under such circumstances as education, shopping, travelling, housing, etc. For instant, we are getting used to search on the internet for a more convenient and inexpensive travel route before we make a plan of a vacation. Without Internet, without numerous information it provides, how can we develop such a modern life, how can the world change so much? However, the Internet has its disadvantages as well. How long have you not received a letter written by a pen, how long have you not search for information to solve some problems in a library, how long have you think by yourself without finding answers on the Internet? The improvement of information acquiring method has push people to drop the ancient habits away, which, in some people’s view, is a regression of human civilization. Overall, I think the disadvantages of Internet means nothing when the advantages of it are considered. In the history of human beings, as the steam engines have replaced the labor power, and the electric equipments have replaced the steam engines again, the progress made by the Internet is also profound and significant. The wheel of the world’s developing will never stop.
