Research Question: The Internet has a Positive Influence in our Society Today
Ten years ago, the Internet was practically unheard of by most of the people. Today, the Internet is one of the most powerful tools throughout the world. Internet plays an important role in our daily life. There are a lot of advantages and disadvantages of using Internet. However, the advantages of using Internet out weight the disadvantages of using Internet.
Firstly, education is one of the main advantages of using Internet. In the Internet, there are educational articles, learning journals, and sample essays that we can read online. Besides that, one of the most common thing that the Internet is used for is researches. Children and students are among the top people who use the Internet for research. Today, it is almost required that students use the Internet for research. Almost all the teachers give assignments requiring research from the Internet. In fact, one of the research studies in America shows that over 20 million people reported going online to retrieve health information(Jimmy Mattews, 1998). This shows that the Internet has become one of the biggest source for research as all that we need to do is a single click of a mouse and we are able to get constant information that is latest and up-to-date. On the other hand, some of the critics said that online research is bad for children and students as it will decrease the use of library. Students will rely more on the information they get on the Internet and will not do extra research in the library.
