I believe increased accessibility to
information
 through the
internet
 is positive. Because people form their opinions based on
information
 and the more they have it the better it is. One good example of the use of the
internet
 can be the khan academy. It started out as a personal teaching tool, but soon expanded into a huge knowledge sharing platform, helping millions of people around the world. I have personally used platform
such
 as
Youtube
Suggestion
YouTube
 to learn about new topics that I had very limited knowledge.
Also
, people in remote areas are now able to have access to online courses and learn about subjects which were not available to them previously. Governments around the world are
also
 using the
internet
 to increase the reach of their services to the people. People now have more access to
information
 regarding various government services and most of the services are now
also
 provided online. As
information
 about different services gets more accessible opportunities for corrupt officials to exploit people gets reduced. The
internet
 has
also
 enabled people to access multiple source of news and verify their authenticity as well.
Also
, regional news that were previously under reported gets more attention due to their publication on the regional newspapers online. National newspapers
also
 highlight regional news on their news portal, as there is no page constraint when it comes to publishing news online.
That is
 why I believe the benefits of the
internet
 out weights its dangers.
