"The not so good and The not so bad"

The internet has come a long way since it started. Nobody in the past could have thought the power it would have today. The internet has grown and revolutionized how people live; it had affected all fields of study and it aids people with different professions. No matter who you are or what you need, be it a CEO trying to find financial news or simply a janitor looking for other jobs, the internet is free for all and applicable to anybody who can access it.
Students are the popular users of this new media. But why is it so essential to them? The internet is so powerful that it can show multi-information in a matter of seconds. That would help them finish their work easily without having to sacrifice a lot of time. New information is also available in the net. In fact, the internet is more updated than most books are, Since students are more inclined to use the internet, many have put up sites specifically made for students and some publishers have offered online or E-books. But is it really good to hand that power to students?
The internet threatens the libraries to be rendered obsolete, it has destroyed good work and study ethics, basically throughout the years it has made students LAZY. Instead of doing thorough studies and research, students choose to copy & paste straight from the net. We should ask ourselves first, is it really okay to sacrifice good work and study habits for the ease and convenience of us students?
