Some people believe today that everyone has a right to access to the Internet and that governments should provide this access for free. Other people believe that access to the internet is not a right and should be paid for like other services. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.

#people #right #access #internet #governments #services
The majority of
people
 use the
internet
 nowadays. While some
people
 argue that
internet
access
 is everyone’s right and
hence
 the
government
 should provide it free of cost, others argue that it is not a right and
people
 should pay for it. In my opinion, providing free
internet
 services is a waste of public funds as there are other more important needs. There is no denying the fact that the
internet
 has revolutionized our lives. Nowadays we cannot even imagine a world without the
internet
. It has now become
such
 an integral part of our lives that we use it for everything from accessing news and information to connecting with friends and family. Even so, it is not a good idea to provide free
internet
 service especially in countries where millions of
people
 still do not have
access
 to basic needs like food, education, shelter or healthcare. The
internet
 is a useful invention, but it is not an indispensable service and it is possible to live without
access
 to the
internet
.
Hence
,
instead
 of wasting tax money on a useful yet dispensable service like the
internet
, the
government
 should focus on other areas that health and education. Its priority should be saving the homeless
people
 and those who suffer from poverty and hunger.
People
 who need the
internet
 can
access
 it by paying for it. Of course, the
government
 can provide free
internet
 in schools, libraries and other public places to make sure that poor
people
also
 have
access
 to it. Beyond that, there is no need to provide it free of cost to all
people
. In the end, I would like to conclude that free
internet
access
 is not a right or necessity.
Instead
, in my opinion, the
government
 should provide free
access
 to food, education and healthcare.
