The distribution
of the Internet (인터넷은 고유명사이니까 대문자 시작입니다. 논제에도 대문자로 시작되어있고요.) internet has made it easier for people to gain information about culture and
history, which had been only accessible by visiting museums in the past. Thus, some
even argue that museums are not necessary in present day. I believe that it is a
wrong idea.
Admittedly, the function
and significance of museums is not as the same as before since Internet first
emerged and became available to most people around the world. It is undeniable
that knowledge about historical facts and cultural heritages are readily obtainable
through Internet. For example, people can easily see the pictures of cultural assets
and learn about them through websites, without having to visit the actual place.
In other words, time and effort, which otherwise would have been spent visiting
museums, can be saved by surfing the internet at home. (여기의 경우 관사 정도를 제외하면 크게 문제는 없지만, 내용상 다른 사항으로 수정되어야 하는데, 이에 대해서는 총평에서 말씀드리겠습니다.)
Nevertheless, I strongly
believe that the role and function of museums still exists. Museums are not a
useless place. They are the only facilities where people can directly experience
and feel the historical and cultural artifacts in person, and this is completely a different experience from that of the Internet which contains only texts and pictures.
Namely, knowledge of culture and history is best acquired not through superficial
letters and videos through internet but through actual encounters with them in
places like museums.
In conclusion, although
the advent of the Internet has engendered some doubts about whether museums are
needed, I think they still have their own function and role which cannot be
replaced by Internet. |
