The Two Sides Of Learning Using Internet (Editorial Writing)

The Two Sides Of Learning Using Internet

         There are many ways of learning. It could be through experiences, reading books, and researching on the internet.
      
         Using the internet in learning can sometimes be good and bad. Good because we will have a wide access to everything we are interested to know in just a click. We can do things faster and easier like defining words, translating languages and computing equations. We will also be exposed to many ideas and opinions people have to say that may help us in some way like in our thesis researches. However, the internet is not a strong source of information because many inaccurate data are stored there. Informations that are incomplete, incorrect,  misunderstood and fake.

          Using the internet can help ease on answering the activities by simply searching for the answer and take note, they can even get the wrong informations! Another bad effect of this is they won't be able to gain self-reliance for they will always depend on the internet. This is a bad practice because the time will come that we will be forced to trust our own capabilities to think, just like answering the Board Examinations after graduating in College. Self-confidence will always be a part of our lives and depending on the internet all the times will not develop our trust in ourselves, so we need to practice having this quality as we grow for us to be independent.

          A suggestion, if we collect data from the internet, let us double check if we have the correct information. We can do this by looking at who the author of the page is, by checking if the website is legit and by comparing the facts we gathered to other legit sites. There are many fake informations found on the internet now, so our awareness of this can help us be safe in our data collection.
