1. What would u prefer to get information, an internet or a book? Why?

Thank for the development of technology, people have many ways to access information to gain knowledge for their study, work or entertainment. Beside the traditional resources like books, people can get information by electrical data through internet or vice verse. In such plenty of ways, I would like to use books more than internet because of three reasons: quality of information, benefit of authors and personal reason.

Firstly, books contain whole of highly believable human’s knowledge. Books are carefully examined by the publications and authorities before being printed, so people can trust in all information in books. There are no doubt that part of information currently available in internet has good references and well control by the authorities such as legal documents in government ministries’ website. However, there are a large number of information in internet are lack of precision, seeing that it is too easy for everyone to upload information to internet. An obvious example are Wikimedia, everyone can writing and edit or upload information. So information in books is good reference in every work and study.

Secondly, books bring benefit to the authors whose hard working is resulted in the books. Authors will receive payment when their books are published as well as the respect from readers. Therefore, the authors are more motivated to be able to contribute more valuable books. In contract, many authors are less willing to write any more when seeing that their works in many years are available in internet. Many internet users can use their work without permission or even though do not know the names of authors. So people are willing to pay for books as the thank to author; in addition, they encouraged author to produce more beneficial information.

Finally, beside the reasons above, personally, books are my interest. Not just reading books when needing any information, when being stressful, I found the peace in book and forgot all my troubles I was facing. Books like good friends to spend all the early morning in balcony with and enjoy the life. Books become part of my life; the part cannot be replacement by any resources or means of entertainment. Using internet can bring information but it cannot enrich the souls of people.

In conclusion, although internet is greatly convenience, many people still would like to use books. Nowadays, they would like to use other resources of information in addition to the tradition ways to get the best results.
