The Internet Is The Greatest Invention of Mankind

There are two sides to every story, and in this case, two sides to every argument. The above statement poses such questions as: if the Internet is not the best invention of mankind, what is? And, what would life be like without computers and the Internet? I hope to answer these questions and form a fact-based opinion on whether I think that the Internet truly is the greatest invention of mankind.

One of the obvious benefits of the Internet is that it provides people with fast accessible information; mainly through search engines such as Google or Yahoo. These search engines are easily accessed, and they provide links to website containing information on what you searched for.

This is an impressive piece of writing. Structure plays an important part in the success of this piece. Sentences are structured effectively, using a mixture of complex, compound and short sentences.

The piece gets slightly repetitive and there is room to use more interesting language. For higher grades examiners are looking for a sustained piece of writing so it is important to keep the strength of the beginning, throughout the whole piece of writing. ****
