Part B.
1. Some people see the prevalence of online systems like online shopping, online
banking, and online bills payment as a mechanism that makes people lazy. Do you
agree with this view? Explain your answer.

Model Answer: I do not see the prevalence of online systems as mechanisms that will

effort, enabling them to spend the spare time and effort to perform other tasks or
activities.

websites so that the children will be prohibited from accessing websites that are
inappropriate for their age.

4. Using social media sites enables people to meet new friends from any part of the
world. These technologies introduced the term “online friends” who are persons you
only interact with when using the Internet. Can the friendships built online be equal
to friends you actually meet in person? What are their similarities? What makes them
different?
Model Answer: Social media enables people to make friends with other people around
the world and perform activities similar to things that friends who meet in person do, like
chatting, share stories, pictures, videos. Despite its capacity to allow people to
communicate with one another, it cannot be done on a personal, physical level. One
cannot hold hands with, pat the shoulder of, or share hugs with online friends.

5. The convenience of researching online using smartphones has led to the
development of websites and applications that have rich sources of information,
making physical libraries obsolete. Do you think it is time to replace bookshelves with
computers or tablets with internet connection? Why or why not?
Model Answer: I do not think that books will be replaced by computers or tablets
because not all references are published online. There are still several publications that
are good for reference that are printed and can only be found in books.
