Some people say that the Internet provides people with a lot of valuable information. I concur with the idea that the Internet provides people with valuable information. It all depends on what kind of information you are looking for and especially if you know how to check the sources of the information. The first example that comes to my mind as the Internet to be beneficial in providing beneficial information is the website Coursera. It is a platform that offers plenty of online courses delivered by universities around the world. Access to education has never been so democratic and easier thanks to the Internet. I, for instance, took a class in Anatomy. With my background in literature, I have never been offered to attend a class on this subject. It was for me an opened door to broaden my education. Moreover, the Internet promptly gives information on countless topics. You do not need to plan a trip to the library or go to a bookstore to search for basic information, it is right at your fingertips. It comes very handy when at last minute you plan to invite some friends over and need to look up a recipe for example. On the other hand, I do understand why some people would argue that the Internet does not provide valuable information. The recent US election and a lot of what we see from social media recently tend to be distorted information. The special investigation conducted by Robert Mueller is bringing up evidence of Russian collusion with the election. One of the crimes they are being accused of is the conduct of social media campaigns, which were aiming at misleading voters by spreading fake news about the opponent candidate. Such cases reveal how important it is to check the sources of what we read. Unfortunately, the way we use the Internet, especially through social media, does not leave room for analysis and scrutiny of those sources. Even for people who think they would not fall into the trap of misinformation are misled too. To sum up, the Internet is a magnificent tool when it comes to sharing and spreading knowledge, but it also can be used as a weapon to spread fake news and control people’s opinion.

I concur with the idea that the Internet provides people with valuable information. (Some teachers like when you take the prompt and use it to create your topic sentence. Revising this is debatable- I would be tempted to leave it as is.)
