The rapid development of modern
information technology has greatly improved the ability of human stored
knowledge and the propagation velocity of information. The globalization of the
network make use of the information that is no longer subject to time and space
constraints, network users can access internet anytime to various information
systems, and this is the most efficient and convenient way to obtain the
required information.
Internet as a one of the most fast carrier to transport information and resources in modern
society, it makes our life more convenient
and give us more knowledge. Thus, the progress of human
society requires the convenient features of internet;
human knowledge can be more quickly and
appropriately improved only when
accumulated more idea.
[No library today can be expected to directly hold all of the resources
to fulfill all the needs of its users. Rather, most libraries supplement their
local collections through resource-sharing arrangements that allow them to
offer their clientele access to a broader universe of materials.] (Breeding
Marshal) According to Breeding Marshal said, I believe internet plays an
important role in support of resource sharing, even library uses internet as a
effective way to sharing and offer people articles and knowledge.
I can understand some of the people said
there are some harmful sides of sharing articles and information on the
internet. Some people thought although the information technology is rapid
developing, so that we can save much more time for put those information and
articles online, digital technology also makes it easier to share the
information. However, human knowledge is created in different languages,
different history background, different publication types and different carriers,
so online literature information resource is not standardized yet, that makes online
information very complex, and making them very difficult to be used in a effective
way. Also internet is an open system, everyone can share
information on the internet, and any individuals and groups cannot interfere in other
people's online behavior. Then cause information uncontrolled and disordered, making information on the Internet
very massive, this characteristics of
the Internet itself causing information pollution.
However, we all have to admit that
internet changes the way our society works. One of the most strongest thesis is
that in the last few years is information sharing on the internet. In a very
short period of time, Facebook, Wikipedia, Twitter and YouTube have all become
a part of modern life, while people are sharing everything on the internet or
on their personal websites. Moreover, users do not need any software, without
any advanced technical training, people can choose to add a huge variety of space
and upload their own observations and knowledge.
We can't deny that sharing and getting
information on the internet have become a big part of our life. Then what we
need to do is that try our best to keep the internet environment clean, because
we need to look at the whole picture, not just its parts. Secondly, we need to
share information better. I think the internet environment will be better if
most of the netizen are responsible for the information they shared. Internet engineering
can help resolve many of the system problems, but not those information shared
by the netizen all over the world. The thing we can do is to be responsible to
the works we did or the things we shared on the internet.
In conclusion, I personally learnt a lot
of things through rational use of network. I can't imagine if there is no such
a rapid and convenient place which contains all the excellent resources that
can truly reflect their own values. At the same time, I believe this problem
may make a lot of people that very sensitive and may still be the focus of peoples
talking, those opinions listed below are just me as an ordinary netizen to
express my personal views.
