Advantages and disadvantages of internet
internet is one of the most important
inventions in history. It is a network of milions of computers around the
world, connected by phone lines, satellites or cables. Millions of people from
all over the world use it every day, so I think that Internet has more
advantages than disadvantages.
Internet has made the world a real global
village which permits us to travel, pay bills or do the shopping without going
out from our houses. We can read newspapers, play games or even plan our
holidays. A huge merit of Internet is a possibility to download music and films
in no time.
We can also communicate with other people from
all over the world by means of programs like IRC, ICQ or GG. We can join a
newsgroup and share our special interests with each other. A very useful thing
is an electronic mail, because it is faster than regular post and even air
mail. Internet offers a lot of information from every branch of knowledge, so
you can find everything for your schoolwork or job there, or just find more
about your hobbies.
Unfortunately, Internet has several
drawbacks, one disadvantage of the
Internet is a danger of getting used to it, computer can become a drug for some
people.In Internet there is so much information that finding what you want can
take hours. Other bad point of internet are some web sites which are not
suitable for children, for example sites about violence, sex or sects.
In conclusion, Internet has more good sides
than bad ones, and I think that it's improving all the time, so in the future
it will be still better.
