In the past, information used to be kept in books but at the moment, people
likely to upload knowledge online. In my opinion, this is an upward trend because
the benefits it brings to reader is outweigh the drawbacks.
On the one hand, using knowledge on the internet crates many positive
values. Firstly, storing information on website instead of books can keep it exist
longer and avoid bad conditions from the weather. Book is made from wood and it
is very sensitive with conditions such as weather or temperature so if a book is
harmed by these things, the knowledge it contains will be lost easily. Infact, many
knowledges about the pyramid stored in old books are destroyed and until now, the
pyramid is still enigmatic with the world. Secondly, if an information is uploaded
online, every people can access and learn about it easily. Internet is a perfect tool to
spread out knowledge ang bring it to every people. According to some research,
60% of new knowledges and information that students need are find out on the
internet due to 30 % from books and 10% from others.
On the other hand, there are also some drawbacks caused by this trend. First
of all, if all knowledges are stored on the internet, users will be lost and can decide
to believe in which website. There are many others website that organize one kid
of information which can make users fell confuse and hard to find out the truthful
knowledge to choose. For examples, I always find medical method online to study
but I have to be very careful and concentrate in choosing website to read all the
time in order not to get the wrong one. More over, reading online website too much
can be very dangerous to the users. The blue light comes from the screen can be
very harmful for eyes and causes serious diseases. Infact, many people get troubles
in seeing because they use laptop or phone too much and get shortsighted.
In conclusion, despite there are some disadvantages, keeping knowledge
online creates a more convenient and modern world than using information from
books.
