Information in The Modern World (174 words)

    To be well-informed is very important in the modern world. Success or failure in many fields, very frequently, depends on whether the latest information is obtained, not on how much knowledge one has already acquired. This is why the current era is called “Information Age”.

    There are many ways to get the latest information to keep up with what is going on both at home and abroad. Newspaper reading is a very popular and convenient means. Newspaper articles usually cover almost all kinds of news: local news, regional news, national news, international news... Besides, TV programs also offer varied kinds of news --- news of politics, finance, education, sports... But the most exciting means of obtaining information, I think, should be from computer network. Almost all kinds of the latest information are accessible there.

    To sum up, I would like to predict that information will play a more and more important part in the future. Without information, we would act like the blind and would find it extremely difficult to make a step forward.
