Since most information about culture and history can be found online, museums are no longer needed. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays,
folks
can just click their fingers to access numerous
information
online regarding the culture and history of certain places.
Hence
a section of society holds a belief that museums are not a prerequisite in
this
millennial era.
This
essay will highlight why
museum
sources
are superior compared to online
information
, along with my perspective regarding
this
issue. On the one hand, the online
information
that
people
received is not fully true, and some of them might be fabricated from the original one, unlike the original source at the
museum
.
As a result
, the fake
information
that has been spread on any media mass platform will gaslight
people
's mindset about the truth. Recent news by "BBC", has found that at least 32% of the fake
sources
are spread on social media annually in the United States. It is no doubt that today's
people
have an intuitive understanding of how to misuse
this
kind of ever-changing technology.
On the other hand
, the
museum
itself holds a sentimental source in which unavailable online
sources
.
Therefore
, society needs to evade it from being obsolete as it has a plethora of historical artefacts that are stored there.
For instance
, Malaysia National Museums have more than 500 old artefacts that have been accumulated since the 1900s.
However
, it is undeniable that online
information
can be utilitarian for
people
,
for example
, there is no limit or geographical boundary for
folks
to find their desired historical
sources
. Despite
this
, it just poses a minor threat to the physical
information
which
folks
can seize at the
museum
. In conclusion,
although
online
sources
might come in handy
in contrast
to physical
sources
, the truth is still vague. I completely agree that museums are still necessary for
folks
to broaden their horizons about historical
information
.
