The Internet contains a lot of Information, however, sometimes this information is inaccurate or wrong. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

The Internet is a means of finding any kind of information related to various fields. People have become so accustomed to searching on the web that they easily believe anything accessed on this domain. This has raised a concern among many that information being disseminated by this platform is fake. 

The internet is such an asset, the information available on the internet can be used for improving any hazardous situation. For example, the train and flight booking information available on the internet can be used for the bookings which earlier couldn’t be done without going to the station or without the help of an agent. The web can be used for getting the information related to jobs which is a boon for the job seekers as now they can easily get all the information regarding job vacancies while sitting in the comfort of their homes. The internet is of great advantage for people who cannot remember routes or addresses, the web is used for searching addresses of any popular organization, doctor, hospital, school, hotels and many other such places of common public use.

 

On the contrary, the internet is also creating such a turmoil in the society which is becoming difficult to control. There is a saying that “little knowledge is a dangerous thing”, the internet is the apt example of this saying. The doctors specially discourage the patients from using the internet for gathering information related to diseases. The people search the internet to find remedies to their medical conditions instead of visiting the doctor, which sometimes puts the patients in life threatening situations. Besides this, the hackers are using the internet to spread malicious and wrong information which has heightened the rate of cyber crime from the past many years.

 

However, I disagree that a lot of information available on the internet is inaccurate or wrong. I rather believe that the information available on the internet is beneficial and accurate to a great extent which makes the life of many people easy and comfortable.
