The internet has made knowledge immediately available to people through computers and smartphones all around the world. Much of this knowledge is also free. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of this trend.

In recent years, there has been a tendency for contemporary people to access various

information

through technological products. I personally consider that

this

trend both have benefits and drawbacks. Suffice to note, the immediate and economical way of acquiring

knowledge

on the internet brings advantages to humanity to some extent. Due to the fast pace of working life, people are less likely to learn

knowledge

through traditional ways,

such

as reading books in the library or enrolling in courses, which are time-consuming and costly as well.

Instead

, the internet could avoid those drawbacks by using various tools. Take Google as an example; By typing your questions on

this

searching engine, a horde of answers could

On the other hand

convenient method would have disadvantages.

Therefore

In addition

, people who heavily rely on

method tend to ignore the importance of reading books, participating in offline courses or asking help from authorities they know, which are

useful ways to get

information

.

Consequently

, they will lose the patience to spend time on exploring deep

knowledge

but only concentrate on a simple and fast answer on the network. To sum up, I do believe that computers and smartphones provide convenience for busy people to study.

However

, people should check the reliability of the sources and use some more professional studying tools as well.
