When looking for information for a research project, some students prefer to get their information mainly from the Internet. Others prefer to mainly use printed materials such as books and academic journals. Which do you prefer, and why?

In my view, getting information from the internet is more preferable for two major reasons. First, most of printed materials usually are not up-to-date. For example, last week when I was searching for a state of the art technology used for brain stimulation in newest reference book of our library, unfortunately I didn’t found anything about it and eventually I forced to use internet. Second, internet is usually accessible anywhere and anytime. For example, while using printed materials like reference books or journals usually necessitate paying money to buy them, but using internet is rarely depend on money and most of its materials are freely accessible. That’s why I would prefer using internet.
