Introduction People believe that the Internet is a tool that opens new opportunities, and some people still consider it as an unpredictable threat to humanity. In this paper, the thoughts of four writers, including Steven Johnson (2006), Christine Rosen (2008), Ursula Le Guin (2008), and Nicholas Carr (2008), about the Internet and the development of new technologies concerning books will be discussed to understand if such replacement may lead to positive outcomes. The Internet is an opportunity to save time, find the required information, and use global connections, as well a threat of being isolated, misunderstood, and mislead; therefore, such factors as fashion, the role of parents, and personal habits have to be properly identified to promote effective coexistence between books and the Internet as the two powerful tools of learning. The Role of the Internet in Today’s Life Many ideas can be used to prove that the Internet has already become an integral part of human life. However, the fact that the Internet is inevitable in modern society does not mean that this tool is characterized by positive outcomes only. Johnson (2006) says that the Internet connects everyone to a new world full of information that is taken from different parts of the globe, but it comes alongside with terrible social costs by making people sit in front of their monitors and stay alone. Teachers and technology experts admit the necessity to use the Internet as the fastest and the most effective method to investigate a topic of research, gather information, and develop an investigation. In Rosen’s (2008) article, there is a thought that reading can hardly improve someone’s life. Therefore, it is easy to justify the use of the Internet for learning or researching purposes. Internet Advantages The Internet promotes access to different sources of information in a short period. The main breakthrough of this tool is the availability of everything to everyone (Le Guin, 2008). Online searching is an easy activity that helps to find answers to millions of questions. The goal of Google is to organize information globally and make it available and useful to all people (Carr, 2008). It does not matter if a person is in the United States or Australia, it should not take much time to read the latest news about the United Kingdom or Japan. There are no boundaries in using the Internet. When people use the Internet, they can develop targeted and strategic reading (Rosen, 2008). Instead of reading many pages to find out the necessary answer, the Internet provides its users with an automatic search. Carr (2008) calls it “the perfect searching engine” that “understands exactly what you mean and gives you back what you want” (para. 25). It is human nature to identify some problematic areas, pose questions, and wait for answers. A person can’t leave a puzzle untangled, and human minds continue ruminating on their problems until a solution is chosen (Johnson, 2006). Such an attitude may complicate human lives considerably, and the Internet is a helpful tool that cannot be ignored. Internet Threats People should never forget about the price they have to pay when they choose the Internet to get the answers to their questions. The decision to spend much time online and achieve the goals set implies not only the necessity to read or listen less bu
