More and more people no longer read newspapers or watch TV programs to get news. They get news about the world through the Internet. Is this a positive or negative development

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.

First,

no one can deny the fact that the popularity of online information spreading does a great job

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.

While

in the traditional forms of media, people have much less degree of participation and interaction.

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.
