Is surfing the internet rather than reading books the best way of gathering information?

Information should be gathered from a wide range of sources. The internet is certainly a favored source by many because it is easily accessible. However, there is a lot of information in books, and on the radio and on tv, and in libraries etc. etc. that just doesn't appear on the internet, anywhere!
Although Surfing the internet appear to make information readily available, many find that studying books is easier to do than analysing pages and pages of on-screen text.
Another potential problem with using the internet as the sole source of information is that a lot of it is unchecked and may not provide the sound information required. Books tend to be more carefully edited, and the authors are more clearly identified.
Of course, using the internet is extremely quick and convenient, but you should not rate the value of something merely on its speed and convenience.
