But some view the Internet with much disapproval because it distracts people’s attention rather than help people do things better.

答案 　　                                   The Internet and Modern Society
　　Recently the influence of the Internet has attracted much public attention. People worry about the time wasted on it, the damage caused by virus spread on it, and most of all, some violent crimes committed due to the violent games played on it. All these concerns may be reasonable. / But if we take a broader perspective, we may find that the Internet has had many positive impacts on modern society.
　　First of all, the Internet has made the access to information more convenient. In the past, people could get information they wanted through only limited channels, such as newspaper, radio, and television. This means that only a certain amount of people could get the information at certain time and in a certain place. / But now with the help of the Internet, people can get information no matter when and where they want. As a researcher has pointed out, information explosion means that people live in the ocean of information, and the Internet has been essential to make that true.
　　Besides, the Internet has also made communication more convenient. Sociologists agree that communication is vital to maintain harmonious human relation, but this communication was rather inconvenient in the past despite the continuous improvement of technology. Letters have been so slow as to be nicknamed "snail mail". Telegraph and telephone may be quicker, but they have been very costly. / But now many new communication tools developed on the basis of the Internet, such as e-mail, QQ and Wechat, have made talking to a person extremely quick, convenient, and virtually free. This will undoubtedly improve human relations in modern world.
　　The most important impact, however, is that the Internet has made social inter-action more convenient. Before the Internet era, various social institutes had only limited options to choose from if they wanted to reach the public, and naturally the result was usually unsatisfactory. / But now in the Internet era, all these institutes can set up their own websites, which cannot only tell the public information but also collect reaction from the public. / For example, the government can collect people’s opinion about certain projects through the Internet. Producers can promote products through the Internet. And universities can clarify admission policies through the Internet. The result is that the Internet can help to bring about a more open, fair and interactive society.
　　In a word, more convenient social interaction, personal communication and access to information are the three major changes the Internet has made in modern society. Although there do exist some problems with the Internet, these positive influences certainly are more important. What we should do is to find measures to solve the problems rather than just talking about them. Just as the proverb says, we should not stop eating for fear of being choked.
