Some
people might argue that research should be done using printed material such as
books and articles as they are much more reliable sources. However, I think it
is better to conduct research using the Internet than to use printed material since it is much more time-efficient and sources from the Internet contain more up-to-date information in it than printed ones.
To
begin with, finding needed information needed on the Internet takes less time than
doing so on printed materials. It usually takes a lot of time to find
appropriate information in printed sources as they need to be read ahead. In
contrast, we can search for whatever information on the Internet with one mouse
click. There was a survey conducted by National Internet Committee with 100 professors
who frequently take part in studies as respondents. The purpose of this poll was
to figure out the consensus view of using Internet sources when doing research.
An overwhelming 79% of them responded that they agree with using information
from the Internet when conducting research. They also added that online sources
are very convenient as they can find whatever information they need right away.
This poll demonstrates that online websites can serve great research material
to researchers with high time efficiency.
On
top of that, the Internet usually provides much more up-to-date information
than printed material. As a lot of people and professionals all around the
world have easy access to the Internet, they would add recent information on
the Internet. It would help the Internet sources frequently updated with better
and recent information. In contrast, books which are printed ahead cannot be
updated easily even though they are found out to have wrong information was contained or it needs to be updated. I would like to give an example of my own to elucidate my point.
Last semester, I was on the way of writing my graduation report about the
reason why patients suffer from muscle aches after having intense exercise. At
first, I found some information about the topic in one of the books I bought at
the nearby bookstore. Using this book, I finished my report and submitted it to
the professor who was supposed to final check my paper. After taking a look on
my report, he said my report should be written again as it contained
information which was found out to be wrong by the recent study. I was stunned
to find out that the information from the book I referred to was totally out of
date. After all, I had to write my graduation paper again using the Internet
making sure it did not contain any wrong information as the former one. My own
experience demonstrates depending on printed stuffs when doing research is
quite dangerous as they have difficulties being updated frequently.
To
sum up, using the Internet when doing research have lots of advantages as it saves time and provides up-to-date information to researchers. I this regard, I firmly believe that it is better to use the Internet than to use books or articles when doing research.
