In chapter one of Research Strategies by William Badke there is a strong account of how the emergence of Technology has influenced how the public goes about accessing and sharing information. This change is brought about by the existence of the revolutionary World Wide Web. In addition, an article published by New York Times entitled, “Study Says Technology Could Transform Society” by Robert Reinhold talks about how electronic information technologies such as video and teletext will transform our way of life in the future. Despite the many positives of these new technologies, we cannot deny the negatives that come with them. The cons include and are not limited to: the availability of poor quality information such as articles or websites written by non experts in the field, the existence of child pornography and terrorist websites and the gradual abandonment of traditional means of doing things. We can argue that the world is already approaching the era spoken about by Reinhold because people can earn a degree in the comfort of their homes as well as shop with just a click. Careful assessment must be made about the drawbacks to these innovations before implementation because they can indeed bring about positive change.
