What if the Internet were the only source of information
The Internet is the most important source of information in the modern world. You can do a lot of different things: watch funny videos about kittens, read actual news from all over the world, connect you with your friends, or something like that. You also have an access to a big free encyclopedia named ‘Wikipedia’. There you can look after things you have never heard about, but also after some useful things, like a definition of some technical terms or something else.
There are many pros, but also many cons, if the Internet would be the only source of information. Only 30 to 40 percent of people in the world have a connection to the
Internet. In poor countries maybe all 100 percent of the population have no computer, even less an Internet connection. So only a section of the world population would have access to information. But if you have a connection to the Internet, there also could be other problems. You could be in a tunnel, a plane or something like that, where you have no connection to the Internet; you also could be in remote areas or in a train where your Internet signal is not the best. In these situations you are not able to look after some new information. Therefore books, magazines or newspaper are the better way for information, because you can read it around the clock, in tunnels, in planes or in remote areas. You do not have to be ‘online’.
Information in the Internet instead is instantly available; you can get the newest information from the other side of the world in less then 1 minute. So the Internet is a quick source of information instead of a newspaper, where you can read the news not until the next day.
Mass media, like television or radio, bring a flood of information. Young people may be able to manage that, but old people would be mostly overcharges with this huge amount of different information. To react this flood, the Internet is a very good
possible
