The internet has greatly increased our access to information. To what extent do you think this is a good thing? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

The

internet

is a network that connects all computer servers and public networks together. It has provided us with the opportunity to

access

information

at our finger-tips anywhere in the world.

This

essay discusses how

access

to

information

has an impact on the public positively. On the

first

hand, There are a plethora of examples of how

access

to

information

has an impact on the public positively.

For example

, Youtube has become a marvellous platform for learners in any field of their interests.

In addition

, there are many websites that provide

access

to books, dictionaries and other documentaries where people could have

access

to them using their mobile phones. The number of instances where people do self-study and perform "Do it yourself" projects have demonstrated that people could learn anything with

access

to

information

.

Such

incidents resemble how it has impacted positively.

Secondly

, the

Internet

is a tool that should be handled with proper guidance.

For instance

, children without parental guidance are prone to corrupt their young minds with adult content

thus

causing them difficulty in studies.

Moreover

, the Dark Web has given the opportunity for criminals to perform illegal acts

such

as money laundering, drug and illegal arms dealing. After all, the

internet

is a platform that needs to be handled with precaution and attention. To conclude,

although

access

to

information

has some drawbacks, In my opinion, they are just facts which could be rectified easily with the support of a governing body.

Access

to

information

through the

internet

has good potential and it is the only way forward.
