“Since everything is on the internet, I don’t need books….right?”

                It is true that the internet does contain a multitude of information; in fact, you can find anything on the internet. However, books contain many things that the internet doesn't such as always containing credible information, and having information from the minds of intellectuals from the past. There are many bad websites on the internet that can trick readers into thinking that the information from the website is accurate. They may fool readers by having fancy formatting, and using high level vocabulary. But after closely reading the information, readers can realize that it is absolute rubbish. However, with books, all of the information is correct because the authors are very credible. Books are published, which means that all of the information was edited and checked for accuracy. Also, books are usually written by highly qualified people such as professors, scientists, and professional writers. This means that the information in books is correct, and will contain high level insight on the subject that you are reading about. Additionally, books contain information that intellectuals wrote decades ago. For instance, there is nothing on the internet that could match the height of originality and language of Shakespeare’s books. The only way that we could gain such insight is by reading his books. Additionally, in more relatable terms, books written by professors will have much more insight on the subject, as they have had many years of studying the subject. There are many things that a professor could write about in a book that might not necessarily be found on the internet.

                However, I am not saying that the internet is totally unreliable. If you know how to properly use the internet to find good sources, then the internet can provide a lot of information to you. The internet can provide with information from many mediums such as blogs and websites. On the internet you can find good, accurate information about the information you want on education websites and government websites. You can have access to a never ending network of information on the internet, but you have to know you to find good sources in order for you to get the best out of it. In conclusion, both the internet and books are necessary in order to access information.
