The internet has been a common tool for almost everyone. The availability of vast amounts of information became a vital tool in learning and assisting in various aspects of everyone’s lives. Its accessibility created an environment where almost everything can be learned. This worsens everyone’s ability to be creative and critical, thus agreeing with the statement above.
Information in vast amounts can be a double-edged sword; it can help to grow our ability to understand and learn, but it can also make us too reliant on its availability anywhere and anytime. Understanding is no longer something we seek, but something we just want to get because it’s easily available. Person-to-person interaction became less and less, and the ability to get personalized information tailored to what we wanted became limited due to our preference to just learn it through the internet.
Information is abundant and copying ideas has become a common norm among the majority. Our ability to be creative has been affected, we tend to follow what is available. The majority became too lazy to create their own ideas, thus affecting our way of thinking.
The internet is a great tool for information, but abusing it creates a destructive environment and a lazy platform for the majority.
