Nowadays, newspapers or watching TV programs have become less popular for individuals to get news; they use the Internet to find new information instead. This essay assumes that this statement has both advantageous and disadvantageous aspects that will be pointed out.
As a coin has one side, people not only get news through the Internet, but also easily access new information on it. To be more precise, individuals can be equipped with beneficial knowledge on the Internet that will be advantageous for them in several fields, such as researching, working. Moreover, they can be able to get updated news immediately thanks to the development of the Internet. During the period of the COVID-19 pandemic, citizens were unable to go outside and buy newspapers. Furthermore, employees working at television stations cannot go to work, which leads to the fact that people were unable to follow the disease through TV programs due to quarantine. Therefore, they had to use the Internet to access information about the pandemic all over the world.
On the other side of the coin, one thing that can not be denied is that the Internet brings advantages to our lives. However, a group of teens in society tends to post wrong information on a variety of social media platforms owing to the availability of the Internet in terms of the public. For example, much spurious information about vaccines, which are used as a cure to deal with the COVID-19 disease, was published on many platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, by a group of people. After that, they were punished by the government in view of making confusing information about global problems. In addition, people would be miscommunicated and take fake vaccines if the government did not take action to prevent this view about COVID-19.
In conclusion, it would be a positive development in terms of the Internet if individuals using the Internet found reliable sources of news and information to help prevent miscommunication.
