▶ Your Answer : I do agree with the statement that govenments should spend more money expanding access to the Internet. Some may argue that improving public transportation is more significant than expanding access to the Interent. However, Internet can help people have more opportunities to learn, and widen their perspectives toward the world . Firstly, expanding access to the Internet offers a lot of people to be educated. In general,the Internet is regarded as a sea of information. However, not every has chance to use the Internet since we do not have enough access points for the Internet. In this sense, if governments make more access to the Internet, more citizen can learn how to use the sea of information. Take my cousin's case as an example. Because she lived in a small town with bucolic atmosphere, there was no school which could teach her English. After the governmet provided the Internet for the town, my cousin was able to learn English on online. Also, she could read useful articles or e-books with the Internet. If it had not been for the help of the government, my cousin would not be able to study English not at all. Additionally, expansion of the Internet might enable people to create more globalized life. Some scholars say that the advent of the Internet has brought numerous troubles and conflicts in the society, such as violence among students or isolation of individuals. Despite of these disadvantages, the Internet provides a variety of benefits for us. As an instance, according to the recent survey of the Korea National Research Center, most of the respondents indicated that the development of the Internet is the most critical event in the modern society. They also added, with the Internet, people in the global world can interact with others as well as they can take a glismpe to diverse cultures. Specifically, via the Inernet, they can view news or entertain programs from differnt countries and widen their perspectives. In conclusion, governments should support the expansion of the Internet rather than focusing on improving public transportations. By doing so, they can expect to have more learning opportunities and citizens' happy life. |
