Context | I search for information constantly, and so this topic was quite hard for me to decide on any specific point to describe. But what I settled on was actually from just this last weekend. I absolutely love Google Maps. It is extremely useful and I use it multiple times a week, really any time that I am going somewhere that I am not totally familiar with. |
Content | In this particular instance I was going to the office of a business that I am very seriously considering taking an internship with. I knew the general area of where the offices were located, and so I made it as close as I could until I knew that I would need further direction. I then pulled off to the side of the road and consulted Google Maps. My city is famous for its innumerable tiny alleyways. It just so happened that the quickest route to my destination was to cut straight through the urban block beside my via one of these alleyways. It was very small but full of interesting business and restaurants. So many smells that almost made me stop, despite my appointment. |
Conclusion | So this is when I needed information and it gave me far more information than was initially intended, and I have many restaurants to add to my list of places I want to eat. |

With the development of the internet, are libraries still important?
I think that they are, but I think that why they are important now is very different from their original source of importance. I think now that the biggest advantage of libraries is a calm and quiet place where study can be done, and contact can be made. Not everyone lives in a place where it is conducive to doing homework, so libraries should be a place where anyone can come to study anything at any time, free of charge.

Such a noisy environment was not conducive to a good night's sleep.

I can, on the other hand, think of many ways that it has had positive impacts on them. Those with mobility issues can have constant high speed access to delivery services, and health services can give and receive a lot of useful information through internet services.
mobility (n) /moʊˈbɪl.ə.t̬i/: tự do di chuyển
Some neck injuries cause total loss of mobility below the point of injury.
