Information technology empowers people

     

     The topic I have decided to discuss is “Information technology empowers people.” The pros of the Internet have increased expeditiously. People can now gain knowledge about anything in the world by a click of a button. It is amazing how much information is held within the worldwide web. Writing papers has been made drastically easier by information mainframes like even Cabrini Colleges, Holy Spirit Library. By simply going on their website, students can access a tremendous amount of information. From movies to scholarly journals, the library has created a mainframe of accessible knowledge without even leaving the comfort of your own dorm.

     Even going beyond writing a paper for a philosophy class, the web has created avenues of self-help and realization. The web will bring you to answers to your mundane questions of the day. People are naturally curious creatures and if they pondered whom the twenty-third president of the United States was then they would simple type it into Google and Benjamin Harrison would pop right up. The web has even created modes of safety where what your browsing can be held confidential to an extent. Incognito mode and websites like “DuckDuckGo” help open up options for those less inclined of being tracked and examined. The web is a resource that can be used for good and honest curiosity. It is there to help people learn more and more about the world around them. They simple have to apply themselves to the information given to them and not be silly and abuse it. Overall, I feel the web is a helpful tool to me that I cannot think to live without.
