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
