With the advent of the information age, the Internet has become a significant source of news. Under
this
 circumstance, an absolute consensus can hardly be reached on whether people should give up newspapers and TV programs and turn to the Internet. From my point of view, there are multiple benefits of being online readers over offline ones.

 accelerating the circulation of the news. In
this
 case, much more people are equipped with the opportunity to gain access to what is going on in all places around the world, which definitely have an obvious advantage over newspapers and TV programs. In comparison, it takes a longer time to get messages via traditional media, as reporters need to spend time on writing, printing and program production. Undoubtedly, modern technologies can satisfy the requirements of the information explosion brought about by the ever-changing world.
Besides

 join the discussion on a real-time basis. After the news is posted, they can follow the feeds with their own opinions.
While
 in the traditional forms of media, people have much less degree of participation and interaction.
However
, the same weight should be attached to the endless annoyance and disturbance triggered by it. To be specific, many pieces of messages appearing in cyberspace are inaccurate and unreliable. In light of the analysis mentioned above, I am convinced that it is a positive development that reading online keeps us up-to-date and
this
 trend is expected to continue in the future.
