If someone controls the use of the internet system, it can make problems in education such as lack of material to expand knowledge and skill. So, internet system is very important system to get information in our education sector now.

Second, everyone has the right to get and know information. It is a basic right like freedom of sharing information. Internet system is a huge virtual world of information and knowledge, and most of it is open for everybody to get. It means that everyone can use it to get any information. Some countries like China control it to prevent crime. They said that the online system can be used by criminals, and it makes more crime. However, it is still against human right. Moreover, controlling the online system cannot be a good solution for reducing the rate of crime. It can make more illegal systems which criminals use to do something bad. It is just against freedom of sharing information. So, it cannot be controlled by anybody, because everybody has freedom to know something.

Last, the online system can be a good solution to making a better economy in our society. Sharing information and communication is needed by our society to solve the economic crisis and any problems. People who have suffered from no knowledge about their problems can get tremendous information in an online system. For example, South Korea has the experience that many parts of economy had suffered from long-term recession. So, they followed the Japanese’s example to make the recession go away, and in this process the online system helped them to get information easily. They gathered information about the solution that the Japanese used to make recession go away. If the government controlled getting information in the internet, it could be impossible to make recession go away easily. So, the online system is helpful to make a better economic situation in our society.

In conclusion, now our society needs the internet system to expand education and economic sectors. Huge information in the online world can help us with how to deal with any suffering and problem. It can help many people make better any parts of their life. This means that the online system can give more knowledge for students, teachers and any workers.
