Write about the following topic.

The world has never been more informed because of the internet. The ability to access almost all kinds of information has become easier and faster. However, I do believe that there are also consequences and all good things come at a price. In this essay, I will be enumerating some of the negative effects we have to consider.
People from different ages use the internet for the purpose of research and learning. Free tutorials of every kind of skill can be found and studied via the internet. This allows individuals who find it hard to enroll in an institution, due to different consequences, study and improve a skill they have been wanting to develop at the comforts of their homes anytime for free or sometimes at a discounted price.
The ability to get information without making much effort, on the other hand, has its own drawback. Let us consider the fact that information found online is not always filtered and factual. This means one can upload a tutorial about "how to make or use, etc." things quite easily. Any person can upload a tutorial of "how to make", say a weapon, in a matter of minutes. If this information gets its way into the hands of wrong people, these individuals might use that newly learned skill on doing illegal and probably, fatal things.
When it comes to the legitimacy of the data found online, any person can claim an information to be true without presenting any evidence. People can share different kinds of statements as often as they can to as many people as they can. Nowadays, to cite an example, people prefer to look up medical information on the internet more than going to hospitals for a check-up. As a result, these individuals end up self-medicating and following whatever suggestions were read on a page. This kind of practice has to stop for the reason that it may make the person's health worse.
In conclusion, I strongly think that the internet has helped our society greatly improve our way of living, nevertheless, we have to understand that every good thing has a dark side and the access to information on the internet is no exception.
