Has the Internet provided a lot of valuable informations?
Have you ever planed to go to some placebut have no idea about the route? Have you ever craving for a kind of food butdon't know which restaurant serve it? Have you ever missed your friends so muchthat you want to talk to them face to face? All these kinds of question willmerge at any time when you are in a place while have no access to the internet.Even though there have always been a controversial debate on how Internetimpact our life, there is no doubt life without Internet is nothing butmiserable.
Internet brought us convenience. Of all thescenario I brought up above, Internet provide all the solutions: the omnipotentGoogle maps for planning the route, the omniscient Yelp for searching for foodand the omnipresent Skype for making video calls. The emergence of variouswebsite and apps based on Internet significantly broaden our ways of lives,thus saving enormous time and making the impossible possible.
Internet provide us with daily news. Unlikethe old days picking newspaper every morning in the front door, people canquickly know what is going on around the world just by a simply click onseveral website. The usage of keyword searching and RSS feeds is doubtlessly makethis even more convenient. You do not have to bother cleaning up a specificdrawer to collect all the newspapers you defined as memorable. Fortunately, allthe old news spreaded on the Internet will not go away as the time passed,which is the opposite for the paper newspapers.
By the boon of the great Internet,scientific researchers can benefit a lot from it. During the old days, all thepapers and journals are kept in the library. If you want to get some referencefor your study, there must be a high pile of books waiting for you to gothrough. Let alone the time you must spend, the sources in a single place isalways limited, which will definitely slowing the research process, thus, tosome extent, influencing the human technology developing pace. As nowadays thedatabase was build for almost every area of the scientific field, searching ina certain science searching engine (e.g., Google Scholar or Web of Science) willgreat enhance the efficiency of finding a reference.
Of course we could not state there is nothing toworry about Internet. For the youngsters who is vulnerable and lack ofself-control, Internet can easily cause addiction or inappropriate life model.They might easily get access to such contents as sex and violence and it ispossible that they mimic what they saw in their daily lives. Admittedly, thereare not all the shiny points for the internet. But if we use it properly andcarefully, it will doubtlessly provide us with a lot of valuable informationand enable us a more convenient life. |
