In the past, information was so valuable resource that it is difficult to get information withou money. With the advant of technology, people can easily approach to a wealth of information. The information especially from the the internet is highly benefitial for people. It allows people to conduct extensive research not only easily but also qucikl. Moreover people who are unable to take classes can take classes.
First of all, the Internet enable people to conduct extensive research easily and comfortably by providing a wealth of information. That is, they don't have to drive to library wasting time and money, comb through endless books, and depend on librarians' help. For example, when I was a freshman in college, I had to write a report on jazz history. Since I was not familiar with that kind of genre, I did not know which books I should use as reference. Fortunately, I could contact wtih the Inthernet by chance and see a vast amount of views on the subject of Jazz. Through these information, I could write my report easily and received a higher mark on my grade. If it had not been for the Internet, it would have taken me a whole week of time to do research.
Moreover, the Internet is absoultely benefitial for people who have difficulty taking on campus classes. This is because wtihout needing to drive to campus and waste money and time for taking classes, they can take online courses in the comfort of their home at one's own pace. According to the recent study conducted by the ministry of education of Korea, not only a number of students but also even workers are taking online courses these days. The reasons why they are taking online courses are said that they live too far from university or have inflexible schedule. No matter how any problems they have such as distance or time schedule, the Internet is emerging as a solution.
In conclusion, I definetly believe that the Internet is indispensable to live in this modern society. As I mentioned above, the internet provides highly available information as well as a unique way to save time and money. Needless to say, the Internet will determine the quality of our lives in the future. |
