The Internet The advantages and disadvantages

What are the advantages of the Internet as a source of information?  It can be accessed from anywhere.  It provides access to huge amounts of information (e.g. encyclopaedias, dictionaries, online newspapers, online magazines, online books).

What are the advantages of the Internet as a source of information?  Information can be accessed immediately (e.g. finding information in a book may take some considerable time).  The information is up-to-date (unlike books that can take months between being written and being published).

What are the advantages of the Internet as a source of information?  The information can include multimedia (e.g. video clips, animations, sound).  Search engines can help users find the information they need.

What are the disadvantages of the Internet as a source of information?  The hardware and software required to use the Internet can be expensive (e.g. buying a computer and modem, paying for an Internet Service Provider [ISP], paying for a dial-up or broadband connection).

What are the disadvantages of the Internet as a source of information?  Users must know how to use search engines properly in order to access the information they actually want.  Information may not always be accurate or true.

What are the advantages of s?  They can be sent from anywhere in the world to anywhere else in the world.  They cost very little to send, unlike the normal post.  s usually arrive at the addressee’s inbox almost immediately.  The addressee can read the at their own convenience.

What are the advantages of s?  The addressee can store their s for as long as they like.  Files (including documents, spreadsheets, images, and databases) can be attached to s.

What are the disadvantages of s?  The hardware and software required to send s can be expensive (e.g. buying a computer and modem, paying for an Internet Service Provider [ISP], paying for a dial-up or broadband connection).  s do not always arrive at the correct addressee’s inbox – sometimes s get ‘lost’ or go to the wrong addressee.

What are the disadvantages of s?  Anyone with access to the addressee’s inbox can read their s.  The addressee might delete important s by mistake, and will then have lost information they will need.  Some services do not allow attachments or strip them off.

What are the disadvantages of s?  Receiving too many s every day can cause ‘information overload’ – business users who try to read every they receive can spend all their time doing that and sending answers rather than doing their work.

What are the disadvantages of s?  Many s are unsolicited (i.e. unrequested s advertising services or products that are sent to addressees by businesses or individuals) – these are called ‘junk s’.
