To majority of teenagers and working adults, the Internet has been regarded as one the most innovative achievements of humankind. internet's pervasive and life-altering influences can be felt in many aspects of people's daily lives. While mostly beneficial in areas such as communication, trade and research, the internet has also caused a proliferation of pornography and hacking.
Communication all over the world has been considerably improved thanks to the Internet. With the widespread availability of messengers and social networks, people can easily communicate irrespective of their geographic locations. Gone are the days when international communication meant a delay of several days to months. Today, interaction through the Internet is more convenient, it also has options to allow face to face interaction such as through the use of Skype.
On the other hand, objectors of the Internet argue that it spoils the young generation by spreading pornography and violence, which is considered rampant nowadays. There is no doubt that pornographic websites and violence videos are ubiquitous online, but whether the young are spoilt by it depends on the young themselves. Owing to the continual warning of using the Internet on many cyber education programs, the youths are supposed to know.
There should be heightened awareness hence increasing the likelihood that they will not be attacked by cyber hackers. Moreover, instead of spending hours of flipping over hundreds of books in the libraries, one may easily obtain necessary documentation within a second of mouse click.
Similar to any other technological inventions, the Internet has both pros and cons; nonetheless, its benefits far outweigh its harms. With recent upgrading Internet security software and substantial improvements on its use, I am firmly convinced the Internet is more a blessing than a curse
