Is the Internet good or bad for education?

There is two things I would like to point out specifically said in chapter 13 of " They Say, I Say". The first thing is Critics are saying all the information we can access through Google is making us not think clearly about main ideas. People on the other hand are saying without Google and the internet it would be a lot harder to even get this information so quickly. They have also said throughout time students writers have never been able to sustain main ideas in the first place. I would have to agree with the fact that it is always hard to focus on one main idea even if we did not have the internet. The internet actually helps us by giving us many examples and ideas to talk about. The second thing I would like to point out said in this chapter is critics say abbreviations on social media are causing us to not write clearly and making us lose our standard English. I would have to disagree because you have a different language for everywhere you are. You are not going to write formally on social media because you mostly follow your friends so you use your own language. Technology is a good thing and really helps you learn and improve as a writer because you can look up information and examples on writing. Without the internet we would only have what is in our area to learn, with the internet we have the whole world to learn about.
