Printed material or the Internet?

Modern students are used to using the Internet for educational purposes. They believe that it helps them a lot for their research process, but others believe that there is nothing better than using paper material for these needs.
To begin with, the main advantage of the Internet for doing any research in any field is that there is a great amount of information, which students can access quickly and easily. Time is the main resource for students, as there are deadlines  which students have to finish working on their research. The Internet helps to save time, because there is no need to go anywhere to search for a book a student needs.
Moreover, printed material like books, textbooks can cost a lot, that’s why not all students can afford this. At the same time, internet access is becoming cheaper each year, because modern technology provides a broad range of opportunities to use the Internet almost everywhere.
One more thing is that the Internet provides fresh and up-to-date information, which is very important for writing really valuable research. The process of publishing a book takes a long time, that’s why the material which is provided in textbooks and books may be outdated for students.
Thus, I support the point of view that the Internet is better than any printed papers in terms of doing research, as it provides students with all necessary information, but also helps them to save time.
