 　　漫画对白：Once I learn how to use google, isn't that all the education I really need?

　　题目：

　　The impact of the Internet on learning

　　Explain why education doesn’t simply mean learning to obtain information

　　In the age of knowledge explosion, the Internet opens a magical portal for leaners to get access to seemingly incessant¹ information. But is information equal to knowledge? “Once I learn how to use google, isn't that all the education I really need?” This question fully² embodies³ the prejudiced opinion that as long as people acquire abundant information, they will get proper education.

　　The reason why education doesn’t simply mean learning to obtain information is that education is not limited to the hard facts or theories students can learn from their textbooks or the Internet. It relates to a wider scope ranging from the obtainment of practical skills to the development of characters, which are hard for students to learn simply by googling. Consequently, comprehensive learning in schools that includes learning knowledge, conducting experiments and communicating with peers is what true education is.

　　In a word, the Internet does provide valuable information for learners, but people should be fully conscious of the essence of education and learn to tell the right from the wrong.
