In the past, knowledge was contained in books. Nowadays, knowledge is uploaded to the internet. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

Nowadays, there is a lot of

knowledge

on the

internet

, which is quick and easy to access;

however

, in the past, all

knowledge

was contained in

books

.

This

essay will illustrate both advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, technology has dramatically developed these days, and the main statement is how the

internet

has affected

knowledge

.

Firstly

, finding or surveying the

internet

is easier than finding

books

in a library because everything is uploaded to the

internet

.

In addition

, people would not spend their money on transport

such

as buses, trains and others, to go to libraries or book shops. To illustrate, if someone decided to buy some foreign

books

, he would spend more time commuting,

that is

unnecessary because, nowadays, there are many pdf-

books

on the

internet

.

Additionally

, people can learn what they want to know on the

internet

, and the

internet

does not have age restrictions.

For example

, many universities have opened their online lessons to persuade people to learn about online lessons.

On the other hand

, there are a few disadvantages to the

internet

. On the

internet

, information can be easily taken, and some writers cannot obtain their money by selling

books

on the

internet

.

For example

, if someone bought Ielts pdf-

books

, he could upload them on the

internet

to share for free.

Moreover

, the government should add more laws to protect some writers. To conclude, the

knowledge

, which is on the

internet

, has a lot of advantages

such

as saving money or time and others,

however

, it has a few disadvantages

such

as the laws, which have to protect the writers.
