“Internet Provides Valuable Information”

Some people say that the Internet provides people with a lot of valuable information. Others think access to so much information creates problems. Which view do you agree with? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
----------------------------------------------------------------

I fully agree with the opinion that internet provides huge quantum of information. But I disagree that it creates problem. It would surely create problems to those who collect the entire whole lot of information regardless of its relevancy. Surely yes! Irrelevant information is garbage. In the following paragraphs I shall elaborate my view point.

Before 25 years or so, the Internet was an obscure network of large computers used only by a small community of researchers and hardly anyone imagined that the Internet would play such an important role in our lives as it does today. Today, the Internet is the center of attention for businesses, governments and individuals around the world. It has spawned entirely new industries, transformed existing ones, and become a global cultural phenomenon.

In the years ahead, the Internet will have an even more profound effect on the way we work, live and learn. By enabling instantaneous and seamless communication and commerce around the globe, from almost any device imaginable, this technology will be one of the key cultural and economic forces of the early 21st century.

Internet is such a powerful and compelling technology because first of all from its conception in the academic community to its subsequent development the Internet has evolved into a uniquely independent information exchange--one that is able to grow organically. Internet can operate reliably with little centralized management, and is built entirely on common standards.

In nutshell the internet is a boon to the mankind. The main advantage of new technology is that it amplifies human potential. User must know what information to store and what to delete and trash, so that user has precisely the relevant information and not the garbage heap of irrelevant information. -------------------------------------------------(288 Words)
