Some people think that travel helps gaining knowledge but others think that TV and internet play a important role in gaining knowledge.
Discuss both views and give your own opinion.


Throughout history, people with great knowledge are the most respected in the society. There are many different ways to acquire knowledge. It is argued by many that one gains knowledge only by traveling. However, others are of the view that TV and the internet are good sources of knowledge. Both sides of this argument will be analysed before a reasoned conclusion is drawn.

For one, traditionally, travel was the only source of getting knowledge. For example, it would have not been possible for Christopher Columbus to discover the United States of America had he not gone on expedition. And another thing, one can get first hand information about the place by visiting it personally. Because of this, it is clear that the argument in favour of traveling to gain knowledge has extended support.

However, with the advancement of technology, the way to access information has changed drastically. For instance, there are programs on television which give detailed information on any subject. Additionally, there are many websites such as Wikipedia and Google, which store information on a vast range of topics. One can browse these websites or subscribe to a TV program and gain knowledge at leisure time. Thus, it is clear why others are in support of this argument.

In summary, both sides of the argument on means to gain knowledge have strong support. However, after analysing both points of view, I am of the opinion that knowledge cannot be obtained from only one single source. One has to rely on different sources based on the level of interest and information one wants.

Yeah. I have missed to add about google,wikipedia.

People use different ways to gather information and knowledge, some might feel that travelling is the best way to gain knowledge. Where as few others may think television and internet are the effective means for information and knowledge. With what I have personally experienced, I feel travelling is more vital in gaining knowledge than any other means.

With travel, we meet new people and socialize with them. We get a chances to listen to their experience and their culture. In addition, we also get to see and sense the things personally in real. This will be a kind of practical knowledge we earn with travelling along with meeting people and making new friends. I would like to explain my personal experience about my work, though I knew our product very well. I really understood the practical application of our product when I had travelled to client site.

However, even medias are equally helpful and informative to know about history, new developments happening around world. Sitting at our home itself, we can gain immense knowledge either by TV programs, documentaries or by browsing through Internet which is a huge knowledge repository. We need to spend lot of time, if we have to gather knowledge by travelling, whereas TV and internet are the cost effective and efficient means to achieve the same in very less time.
Hence, to gain knowledge effectively we must use all different options available to us. But the fun in learning and practical exposures are the add ons with travelling, when compared to TV and internet.

This inditing discusses both views before concluding an opinion.

People travelling places in search of literature will definitely help to gain knowledge and experience. Recently, many universities have introduced courses related to Travel literature. Students pursuing the course had to travel in search of autobiographies, ancient writings to prepare a travelogues.

On the other hand, using different internet resources and following subjective related television channels helps to boom the state of knowledge.

However it cannot be denied that gaining something without striving hard is always a pleasure.

Hence it is believed that using Internet and following TV media programmes can help to gain same level of knowledge, which is gained by traveling.

Traveling has an impact if we see majority of the times and if that is the way how it is all helpful most of the things is a way that appeals to the moment i personally find it decent at a lot.
If we get to be aware of the things like jacksonville to new york city which are so useful for traveling we get a lot of help.
