I will write about both the best and worst aspect of using internet. The internet is a global system of computer network to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consist of millions of private, public, business, academic and government networks that are linked by broad array of electronic, wireless and networking technologies. The internet carries huge range of information resources and services such as the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW). Now a days people are using internet almost every day giving and getting a lot of information. Even the elementary schools are having computer classes and almost everyone has their own personal computer in their houses. There are a lot of good and bad aspects of using the internet which I will explain one by one.
I will first talk about the good aspect. Internet is very useful for finding resources!
Internet is used for writing papers, finding a lot of resources, and it is very good for research. There are almost everything in the internet so people do not go to library for their research papers like before. Before the internet came into our life, people used to go to library and read or search for something that they want and it took a lot of time to do such thing. It was very difficult thing to do and it was very time consuming. But these days people just have to type in something in the internet and there!!!! You will find almost anything! It is very useful and I don’t know what it would be without internet… it will be boring for SURE! I got used to using the internet so much that I can’t imagine without internet! It’s just too good for me! Hahahaha
Here are some links (blogs) that it explain what is the good aspect of using the internet.
This explains how to get started with internet Marketing. How people can get into business with internet and how it is very positive! People can just stay at home with their PC and start a business without going out or wearing suits! No stress, just grab a cup of coffee and do your thing at HOME!
This one explains how it is a best aspect of using internet for keeping books online. It is very useful and people are using this system. It is very common and almost most business man knows about this system!
Another best aspect of using internet from my point of view is that you can keep in touch with people all around the world very easily!
There are a lot of things that we can do to update each other these days. Facebook, which almost all students have their own account and keep in touch with people, family members, relatives, and friends. I personally use Facebook everyday and I am very addicted to it! They will upload their pictures and we can see what they’re doing and make a comment on everything! I just love it! I feel more connected and close to a person and I think it is very good. Also we can make a lot of new friends on Facebook, all around of world! It is always good to make new friends ;) Most of the people are usi9ng smart phones which we could use Internet!!!!!! And FACEBOOK!!!!
Here are some blogs of the advantages of using Facebook.
This one explains how Facebook is useful for checking evens. There are a lot of events and it is the easiest ways to find and get invited to the events and PARTY! ;)
This one explains how comments box in Facebook is good and useful. People who have Facebook account know exactly why it is good to have a comment box!
Another advantage of using internet is email! We can use emails for everything. If we want to write for business letters, to keep in touch with people, also it is very useful to talk with our professors. This works both for private, business and professional way of keeping in touch with people. I always write emails to professors if I have questions and they will reply pretty fast and it always works good to ask questions.
Now I will talk about the disadvantages of using internet!
First thing that pops into my mind is that, when we use internet for research it is not so reliable…As I mentioned earlier, internet is a very good thing to use for research and finding sources and information but at the same time, it is a little bit risky! Anyone can make their own blog or create website and write anything that they want and this could be dangerous because the information might not be true. They can write what they think and write a new theory for example. People who do not have a degree, even kids can write whatever because we can never find out what age is the writer and this is very dangerous. The essays can be a little weak if we rely just on internet sources.
Also Internet can be very addictive and people could be spending too much time on internet. Like I mentioned before I use Facebook almost all the time by my phone and I am one of the people who is addictive to internet. This is so bad because it might cause to lose my concentration on my studies and this is very bad… When I open Facebook and write a paper, I am both thinking about my paper and my Facebook, who commented on my status or my picture and so on… Also there are a lot of people who are using online games and they are constantly playing games and this is very bad… It is highly addictive and I don’t like to be one of them.
Violation in privacy is another thing which can be cause by using internet. This could happen in Facebook too. If someone set their account not private, anyone in the world can see their profile and their wall also their personal information and pictures… This could be dangerous and people might get stalker in internet…!!! We just have to make sure and be careful about our setting when we create something, blog, website and new account! Here are some sites for disadvantages!
They both explains a lot of points of advantages and disadvantages of using internet! It is true...
This site explains the disadvantages of using Facebook… Very true and scary!
All and all I think internet is GREAT! But there are few things that we have to be careful when we use it, but if we know what will happen and what are the worst things that could happen, we should be fine. We cannot take out internet from our lives anymore because it is just too useful in any ways!
