Are people better informed in the information society?

In this reading the question that will be discussed is " Are people better informed in the information society?"  On the Yes side fr this argument, the articled created a survey for the youth in today's society, and found that the kids that used internet more had better scores on tests and better grades than the others that did not.  After this survey the article expressed how the internet is the future for students and that it needs to be provided to the kids to help them succeed in the classroom.  However the no side states that the internet among the kids has not been beneficial, but it has hurt there minds and made them not social with the public in the outside world.  It also argues that the kids do not use the internet properly, that they are using it to look up other things like videos, television shows, and everything else that is not school related.  He also believes that by these kids using the internet so much for school it has made them not as smart, because they do not read as much, or actually do the math problems they use a calculator, and they are not learning as much and it is making our future for this country not as knowledgeable.

In my opinion I believe that the internet is very useful for student and it helps everyone around the world know what is going on in the world or there country or even there community.   It also helps people better communicate, it helps our society out a lot.  Both arguments have valid points but i would side with the yes argument due to better evidence.  On the students issue i believe that the internet is very helpful and can only help the students with school not hurt them.  However with that being said i would make them actually do school work before letting them browse on the internet.  Also the students would have to use the resources that they are provided with, because there are plenty of students in today's world that have all the resources and have access to everything to make them a better student and they do no take advantage of it.  When other student do not have that provided for them and they still succeed in the classroom.  I think all students should have the same resources and access to technology they need for school.
