In the modern era we can't think our activity without the
internet
, nowadays it is not only a service but also
became a necessity. I think, rapid access
to the knowledge
has improved our life. The easy access
to knowledge
has negative impacts on our lifestyle too. This
essay will first
discuss a few positive impacts and then
will discuss a few negative aspects of increased access
to information.
First
of all, easy access
to knowledge
enables us to keep ourselves updated and empowers us to explore different avenues. For example
, in the pre internet
era, students, who are willing to get education from an international college, had difficulties gathering knowledge
regarding courses, class schedules etc. Now, students can access
material from college websites readily, and even an online application to courses is possible. Also
, one may subscribe to the preferred school's newsletter online and can get periodic updates.
On the contrary
, the convenience of access
to the material made human being lazy. For example
, earlier we had to open a dictionary to find a meaning of a word or to understand the use of that word. These days, students refer to the online application to do the same with a click. A study shows, such
habit results in forgetting that word later, because our brain knows the solution is readily available. So, there is not much new learning, and researchers observed a constraint of vocabulary among new generation.
So, to sum up, it is undeniable that easy access
to information on the internet
definitely improved our life and enable us to be more effective. On the other hand
, like the other great innovations of technologies, the ease of getting knowledge
does have some adverse effect on life and lifestyle. We, as an intelligent species, has to choose the use of the internet
carefully in advance.Unauthorized use and/or duplication of this material without express and written permission from this site’s author and/or owner is strictly prohibited.
