To acquire information, some deem that libraries are no longer necessary since modern communication technologies, especially the Internet, have advanced enough to provide the things netizens want. However, while people can enjoy certain convenience brought by such cutting-edge technologies, they may also risk losing some other essential things that brick-and-mortar libraries can offer.

雅思近几次出题都和科技有关呀，观点逻辑就是主流的几个翻来覆去倒腾，而且这题又是和2021.07.01相似的老题重现（Maintaining public libraries is a waste of money because computer technologies can replace their function. To what extent do you agree or disagree?）审题时需注意，主要论述角度覆盖“获取信息”层面。

Ø brick-and-mortar adj. 实体的
To a certain extent, the Internet does have its edges. The most conspicuous one is that it provides the public with much more convenience. Taking full advantage of the colossal database established and information travelling fast on the Internet, netizens, by simply clicking on certain websites, can not only get informed at the moment when the latest news and resources have just been updated, but also dig the previous information rather than search through rows of shelves in a library. Meanwhile, the progresses of electronic devices have made it possible to search information via portable palm-sized gadgets, which is much more convenient. Besides, the cyberspace has also formed online platforms for net surfers to air their views fully and freely with others who share same interests.
解析

Ø edge n. 优势
Ø colossal adj. 庞大的
Ø dig vt. 挖掘
Ø potable adj. 便携式的

Ø air vt. 发表
However, never does this mean that libraries are no longer necessary since they have the functions which the Internet cannot serve. To illustrate, the stories written on newspapers, books, and magazines are authentic, since the strict censorship requires authors and editors to be certain about minute details. By stark contrast, the information shown on the Internet may be fabricated, as some people base their sense of self-worth on the number of ‘likes’ or ‘hearts’. Those idle gossips are very likely to mislead the netizens who lack the ability to seek or distinguish authoritative sources. Additionally, those who reckon that libraries are no longer needed also mistakenly view them as simple repositories of paper documents, but such facilities can actually offer sound environments for reading and studying.
解析
强调图书馆的好处：1. 权威信息；2. 氛围好
Ø fabricate vt. 编造，捏造
Ø authentic adj. 权威的
Ø censorship n. 审查
Ø minute adj. 细小的
Ø idle gossip 无中生有的小道消息
Ø repository n. 仓库
In a nutshell, at present never can the Internet substitute for public libraries.
