Since most information about culture and history can be found on the internet museums are not needed any more. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Nowadays, the
internet
has grown at a faster speed beyond everyone's imagination. Some people
believe that most information
about culture
and history
can be searched on the internet
and museums
are not needed anymore, while others think that museums
have still played a significant role in modern society
. This
essay will discuss both perspectives and give my opinion about why I think that museums
should still be needed in contemporary society
for several reasons.
On the one hand, it is generally accepted that the internet
has changed humans' daily life totally. That is
, it changes not only our viewpoints toward culture
but also
our values
towards history
. To be more specific, it can be said that people
in modern society
can search for a lot of information
about culture
and history
on the internet
for free. Because of this
reason, most information
related to culture
, history
or arts can be found directly on the internet
without paying any fees, and many people
will think that museums
may not be needed anymore; however
, these people
forget that some artworks, culture
and history
displayed or demonstrated in the museums
still have their values
for some seniors or minors who may not have enough opportunities to use the internet
.
On the other hand
, it can be suggested that some cultural experts or historians support that museums
still have their values
and functions in modern society
. That is
to say, these museums
can preserve something critical that the internet
can not replace. Although
current technology is so advanced that digital museums
can be visited by online surfers at home directly, some artworks, cultures or history
still have special meanings for nationals and their countries. For example
, most information
about history
and culture
such
as some songs or written texts can be valuable and priceless that nothing can replace.
In conclusion, it can be asserted that museums
still have their values
and functions in contemporary society
and should not be abandoned because of their priceless values
and important meanings to their citizens or nations.Submitted by jackson05234 on
