Questions:
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 answer.
My essay:
In this day and age, it is common belief that the appearance of the Internet has had an immense influence on our life. A quick access to all kinds of information provided by the Internet is changing the way people live. Marvelous as it looks at first sight, the Internet causes troubles in such a silent way that few people can realize it.
Wasting time, in other words, reducing efficiency is the first problem the Internet courses. The more information the Internet offers, the more time we waste to find the desirable ones. As our experience, when we search something in Google with key works or key sentences, every time it comes out with dozens even hundreds pages of results. We have to click a lot of pages to find out in which one there are the information we really want. In this case, superfluous information is nothing but a time killer. Worse still, those unwanted information often distract us from our original searching purpose. More than once I turned on my computer to search useful information for my homework, but ended up with watching funny videos. In this case, additional information works as an efficiency killer.
Secondly, constantly overwhelmed by information decrease the time we spend with kith and kin in the real word. Some people think that the Internet brings a closer distance between person and person, but I believe there is a longer distance between us in the reality caused by the Internet. It is a common phenomenon that people use their own mobile phone surfing the Internet rather than talk and laugh with others while they dine together. Convenient it looks like at the first sight, the Internet overwhelm us with the information flood and take the good times with friends and family away.
Finally and most importantly, some distorted information exhibited on the Internet can give rise to economic loss and even social unrest. There are many people suffering financial losses since they are deceived by fake shopping sites, which copy the pages of other famous online shopping sites such as Amazon, taobao.com and so on. Moreover, the information containing excessive violent and pornographic contents is most likely to mislead people, especially for the people lacking critical thinking ability. For example, a study on juvenile crimes shows that the misleading information on the Internet, such as violent movies and claims, is a key factor to the increasing juvenile delinquency.
In conclusion, we should to face the problems that caused by the overload information. When we are inundated with all kinds of information provided by the Internet, we ought to keep a rational attitude and use critical reading and thinking skills to treat them.(448 words)
