Some businesses prohibit smoking in any of their offices. Some governments have banned smoking in all public places. Do you agree or disagree that this is the right course of action? Give reasons for your opinion.

Some people believe that internet access creates problems. There are several possible reasons why it can happen.
Firstly
, some data may be unverifiable.
For example
,
everytime
Suggestion
every time
they search for a data, there would be lots of choices that would appear on the screen. They would not be sure if the
information
they are reading is accurate. Some sources may even have outdated
informations
a message received and understood
information
.
Secondly
, some sites may be unreliable.
For instance
, people sign up on one site that sells goods online. The goods would be paid for
by
Suggestion
with
a credit card, but the purchaser would not receive anything. And
finally
, not everything is available through the net. When my friend had tried to
research
for some pictures of 18th century paintings, he did not find any results.
Then
he was told by his teacher that they would only be available in the library. Others believe that the Internet is very useful and these are the justifications.
Firstly
, it is hard to get the same data,
that is
available through the Internet by other means.
For example
, if the directory
information
could not give me the accurate address and contact number of a place I want to visit, I normally check that
information
on the Internet. In just one click, I would get all the details of that certain company.
Secondly
,
research
becomes more comprehensive.
For instance
, I do not have to buy lots of reading materials to complete my
research
. Most of the needed
information
can be found if I have Internet access. And
finally
, data
is easily compared
Suggestion
are easily compared
and contrasted. I remember, my cousin researched a study about overweight children a decade ago and at present. He was able to finish his
research
in just one day, as compared to a week if he would not use the Internet. In conclusion, let me reiterate that the Internet plays a big role in our life, because it makes data retrieval and comparison easier.
