Some people say that
the Internet is the most important invention. To what extent do you agree or
disagree with this statement? Give your reasons and examples.
Internet
has overwhelmed humanity greatly, so much, so that some have started
considering it to be the most prominent accomplishment of the man. However,
such enthusiasm does not seem to emanate from every section: they think
differently.
Undoubtedly, internet has transformed the
human life radically. The most prominent of changes can be observed in personal
realm where it has afforded effective and convenient methods of communicating.
It has now become extremely easy to interact, with peers, nears and dears; now
people do not have to wait to convey messages since this task barely takes a
few moments to transmit messages anywhere across the world. Not only this, the
whole exercise hardly costs anything expect nominal monthly subscription.
However, a school of thought considers discovery
of electricity worthy of being termed as a true feat which completely
transformed lives. The advent of this form of energy made it possible for the
mankind to explore formerly untrodden realms: communication, transportation,
medical diagnosis and intervention, construction, etc. it's presence is conspicuous in every
imaginable sphere of human life. Even the internet saw the light of day due to
electricity.
Apart from electricity another innovation that
cannot be easily disregarded is the arrival of aircraft, which changed the face
of the planet making the globe truly a smaller place to tread where any location
can be reached in a matter of a day, otherwise men would spend months faring the
stormy seas. This has helped technology transfers, expansion of businesses, bring
people together, and spread of internet.
In the hindsight, squabbling over the issue
of determining supremacy of pioneering discoveries carries little substance. All
innovations are path-breaking in their own virtue and have revolutionized human
lives. Each of these discoveries has, in one way or other assisted each other.
