Some think that it is better to get information or advice from other people, while others believe one can get any information or advice from the Internet or books. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

Knowledge

is considered to be a tool that has great power. Some say obtaining

information

from people who we interact from the daily

life

are better when compared to the

information

taken from the world wide web or from the printed material. In my opinion, both of these sources are equally important and relevant to succeed in

life

. On the one hand, critics who are in favour of getting

information

from others would argue that, people from day to day lives can provide us an ample of believable

knowledge

that cannot be found on anywhere else. To elaborate, as humans we always tend to believe

information

obtained from another human being,

this

is mainly due to the emotions, experience and the level of truth attached with that

information

.

For instance

, we would believe something that an ex-convict has to say about the

life

in prison rather than retrieving the same

information

by reading a book.

Similarly

, a story of

life

experiences and hardship being told to us by a parent would have a much stronger attachment and an impact than seeing or hearing from a different source.

On the other hand

, some oppose the above argument and believe that

knowledge

and

information

found in printed media or the web would contain a plethora of

information

. To put differently, the internet has revolutionised the way we work and how we obtain

information

. As long it's from a credible source,

information

found on the internet are extremely reliable and have benefitted an ample of organisations or individuals

such

as, the police, research scientists or even students.

For example

, an online library access provided by my university allowed me access to un-imaginable amount of journals and academic articles,

therefore

, with the help of

this

I was able to successfully complete my final year research. In conclusion, I strongly believe that

information

and

knowledge

obtained from both of these sources are equally important in

life

.

Information

, experiences and lessons obtained from others can always be used to shape your

life

for the better, while

information

retrieved from the internet can be used to improve the overall

knowledge

in a particular area.

However

, on both of these instances the

information

must be from a credible source.
