Some people are addicted to use computer and surfing the net. They may waste all their time in playing computer. This will badly affect their study and work. Besides, some problems may be caused by internet, for example, privacy invasion, sex and violence ,and other social problems. People will do whatever they like on the internet as they no need to bear the legal responsibility for their online behaviors. All people are anonymous on the internet. Therefore, they can talk and do something that they will never do in the reality.
Youtube and different forums can also bring great trouble to the society. Millions of videos and posts are posed on these online platforms everydays. And many of them are kind of invading the private lives of other people.




Information Revolution

(A) We can get tons of information from the internet because internet is the largest database with abundant and unlimited information.
We can store, access and share knowledge with other people by digital technologies.
Finding information and data on the internet is much more convenient and easy than in the library.
We can search things in anytime and any place.
Books can only provide information and knowlege in words and pictures.
But we can watch videos and listen mp3 sound files. (more interactive, funny, interesting, influential, consequential and innovative)

People can have closer and direct interaction or connection with the writers and authors.
The information can be uploaded by everybody, range from experts to children.
That means some information on the internet may be incorrect and too subjective.


(B) Yes.
The video ignores and neglects the possible and existed disadvantages of using internet.(such as social problems)
It only shows the advantages of using internet and that's too subjective.
Everything have two sides(bad and good).
It's impossible to focus on the good thing and totally ignore the bad one.
