    In the modern world, people have access to a world of knowledge through books or the Internet. However, some people argue that information or advice provided by humans is better. As information from books or the Internet is sometimes generic, I think advice from other people can be more helpful to address real-life problems.

    First and foremost, books and the Internet allow individuals to acquire a wide range of information. The Internet and books have stored information from the past and present. For example, many people learn theoretical knowledge from academic books and read the news on their electronic devices. In contrast, human beings might not be reliable sources of some information due to their limitation of knowledge. For instance, without access to the Internet or printed matter, lots of people would fail to explain Newton’s Second Law or tell the current stock prices.

    Nevertheless, advice from people can help address practical issues. People with experience or expertise can provide useful solutions to real-life issues. Through communication, they can gain a comprehensive understanding of the problems and find realistic ways to tackle them. Whereas, books and the Internet do not cover most of the problems that people encounter in the real world. As books or the Internet usually contains general information, specific suggestions from humans can better suit people’s actual needs.

    Overall, books and the Internet provide a great deal of information. Despite this, I agree that advice from people can better solve actual problems, while Information from books and the Internet is universal.
