Modern technology now allows rapid and uncontrolled access to information in many countries. This is a danger to our societies. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Fast and unrestricted acquisition of

information

has become possible owing to advanced

technology

.

However

, it is believed to pose a danger to mankind.

Although

this

phenomenon is beneficial in education, the falsified

information

it contains should not be neglected. On the one hand, the favourable effect on education is one of the important advantages of quick, unrestricted access to

information

, assisted by cutting-edge

technology

. One rationale for

this

could be that gifted students who would not be able to afford a high tuition cost because of financial constraints could easily access the latest academic resources online. Take Google Scholar as an illustration in which students can acquire a variety of up-to-date types of literature on

this

site for a free download if they want to learn about the most recent study areas.

Therefore

, we can say beyond any doubt that academic knowledge can be the benefit of the quick and limitless availability of

information

via contemporary

technology

.

On the other hand

, because current

technology

enables people to obtain knowledge quickly and unrestrictedly, it is dangerous to everyone who is exposed to fake

information

. With the emergence of the internet community, anyone could now generate and publish material on social media platforms without having it officially verified, which led to the spread of false

information

. If people are exposed to false

information

or fake news, they are more likely prone to make poor decisions. Take Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency,

for instance

. Elon Musk published plenty of

information

to support Dogecoin on Twitter, leading to the price of

this

digital currency soared for tens of thousands of times.

However

, when his followers bought in, he cashed out and left the market with lucrative profits. His fans who invested in Dogecoin at the top suffered significant losses. In conclusion,

although

advanced

technology

provides fast and unrestricted

information

which plays a positive role in education, its danger of falsified

information

to societies cannot be overlooked. We need to learn how to use

this

double-edged sword.
