The internet and the library are main resources of research. As a student, finding information’s are sometimes frustrating and complicated as I want reliable resources for me to be able to get good marks and for my school paper to turn out to be excellent. In this generation, it is the internet that is used by most of the students. It is a computer network where in students can get information’s by just opening their laptop. The library is a place where you can find and use books, newspapers and magazines to get information’s. The purpose of this essay is to look at the advantages and disadvantages of using these resources, comparing and contrasting them and most especially why using the internet is better than sitting in the library.
First and foremost, I am going to talk about the use of the internet. The internet is commonly used by the by the people especially students nowadays to help them with their coursework’s, research and finding some information’s. The ability to work everywhere and information’s that are available anytime of the day makes the internet more convenient and easier to access. On the other hand, students prefer using the internet because it saves their time doing research as they can get information’s with just a click on their laptop or PC’s. It provides them an up-to-date resources and a wide diversity of resources that are available on any specific topic.
Apart from the benefits that I have stated about using the internet, there are some disadvantages that you should keep in mind; such as internet sources can be unreliable or misleading at some point. Internet allows people to post or write anything which results into leading the users into wrong information’s. Internet resources such as “Wikipedia” or blogs and any other hosting sites are examples of sites that cannot be trusted as it can be edited anytime and it is not advisable to use as a source of research
