In the past, knowledge was contained in books. Nowadays, knowledge is uploaded to the internet. Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?

Nowadays, the majority of
information
is stored online rather than in physical books as it was in the past. I will examine the advantages and disadvantages of
information
storage media and provide a logical conclusion. The two main advantages of transferring
knowledge
to the
internet
are that it is easy to use and contains much

presumably is easy to access when the user desires to upload or download the

Google, the most famous search engine in the world, present an easiness in term of searching for
knowledge
on the

, and
also
it contains a lot of sources that might be useful to broaden
people
's horizons.
However
, on the
internet
, there are some unnecessary ads that might pop up when
people
try to find
information
that can distract
people
from concentration.
This
is because it can increase the attraction to open the ads and it will impact the result of finding
knowledge
when
people
get less concentration.
