People today are exposed to various sources to keep them updated with the current issues. With the rapid development of technology, it became easier and faster to exchange informations. Although it can be true that more sources can help people to be more informative, I believe more resources can be not only unnessary but also be dangerous to people for the following two reasons: Information on some sources are not accurate and a single source can give people enough information. First, not all information can be trusted. Given the fact the information on the web or book is written by a lot of people, it is hard to know if it is a vaild and accurate source. For example, the famous website called wiki-pedia covers uncountable topics and news which can be very helpful to many people. However, anyone on the website can write or edit the page. There is no way to find out the writer's background information; which means that the information on the page can either be made up or be untrue. Second, using too many sources can be time consuming when it comes to researching and filtering the necessary information. When researching, it takes less time to find one or two vaild sources and stick with it. For instance, when I look for the current political issue, I simply find it on the newspaper. Often times, I end up with the same information on any other resources. It is a waste of time and energy just to find the information you already have. As a conclusion, using one or two trusted sources depending on the topic is enough to stay informative. With them, people can save time and still have the right information they need. Like an old saying, "time is a gold". In this regard, spending extra time on getting information from various sources only cause people a headache. |
