Writing: The Internet is a better invention than books. Discuss.

The Internet was a very revolutionary invent in 1969, when it was invented. The Internet is a very important invention because you can access a lot of information in a short time. You can communicate with the people around the world (e-mail, messenger…) and is also used to play computer games. Before the Internet was invented, people went to the library to consult information; computer games didn't exist and the relationships were more real, not virtual.

Books, on the other hand, are a very important invention ,too. Books are simpler and you can read it everywhere, you can touch the book. I think that books are more personal object. But the Internet, however, is more useful.

On balance, I think that the Internet is a better invention, because it is more useful and it has more applications.
