INTERNET vs. BOOKS or other texts

When might using the Internet be better than using a traditional text?

• Topics that are contemporary (modern topics) – The Internet has more up-to-date information on current events.
• Topics that are controversial – The Internet can give you a lot of different opinions on one topic. It can help you research a topic from different perspectives.
