The advantages and disadvantages of using a search engine

Millions of people around the world use search engines almost everyday. We actually gain many benefits from them, but this can also bring us harm.

We can expand our knowledge easily through the use of search engines. There is no doubt that everyone must have something that they did not previously know. In ancient times when people approached difficulties beyond their abilities, they often read books or knowledgeable people. But nowadays we can simply put some key words into a search engine and then in less than a second thousands of useful answers will show on your screen. That's amazing!

But search engines also have disadvantages. Firstly, search engines show way too much useless information on our screen. Sometimes you can not even find anything useful from searching results. It wastes a lot of time to pick up useful information from large amounts of search results. Secondly, those who use search engine frequently may become lazy even stupid. Everytime they meet difficulties they just immediately use a search engine.They do not even spend a little bit of time to think of realistic answers. I think these are not good habits which we had better get rid of. Lastly search engines may bring people to various pornographic websites. Those websites are especially harmful for children. And search engines have not found the best way to keep those detrimental websites from children as of present.

Though search engines can benefit us a lot, we need to use it carefully in order to gain what we want and avoid harmful information. Search engines can become a powerful tool to learn new knowledge,however it can also cause harm. It all depends on how you choose to use search engines.
