It is generally believed that the Internet is an excellent means of communication but some people suggest that it may not be the best place to find information. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

The

internet

has revolutionized our lives. It has changed the way we communicate and research. According to some people, the

internet

is a great communication tool but it is not a reliable source of

information

. I do not quite agree with

this

view. In my opinion, the

internet

is not only an excellent communication tool but

also

a treasure trove of

information

. The

internet

has given us access to a vast pool of

information

. In fact, anyone who has access to a

This

online has even made physical libraries redundant. The main problem with finding

information

online is that we cannot always trust the source. The

allows anyone and everyone to be a writer and a publisher. You can blog on any topic; you can post your opinions on any

As a result

, some of the

that we find online is not very reliable.

This

on the

is erroneous. While I admit that it is possible to find factually incorrect

on some

websites, blogs and forums, the truth is that the vast majority of these unreliable sources do not make it to search results. When you do a Google search for a particular keyword, the websites that pop up are authority sites that do their research before posting

information

online. Take,

encyclopedia Wikipedia. Anyone can edit it so we might think that it will contain a lot of mistakes.

On the contrary

, Wikipedia does not contain any more errors than the celebrated Encyclopedia Britannica because it has committed editors and writers who want to provide the most authentic

information

to their readers. To conclude, I do not agree with the argument that the

internet

is not a reliable place to find

information

. If we only refer to authority websites and blogs we do not have to worry about the authenticity of the

information

we find.
