Does the Internet have more advantages or disadvantages?

The Internet seems to be one of the greatest wonders of the modern world. Nowadays it is hard to find a house with no access to the net and every day more and more people are discovering the amazing possibilities which it gives us. However like every single innovation in science and technology the Internet has its own advantages and dis advantages. Firstly I’d like to present you the advantages of the Net. Information is probably the biggest advantage that the Internet offers. Any kind of information on any topic under the sun is available on the Net. The search engines, like Google, Yandex are at your service. Using the Internet you can be able to read all the newspapers around the world and you don’t need to spend money on buying them. The Internet also provides you with the information that you need to do your research, your course papers or your homework while you are staying inside your own room. You can have the access to journal, books and other library source of information but you don’t have to go to the library to seek the information. You can ask as many questions as you need and you can get the answers from different experts. The Internet gives people the opportunity to publish their works and you can do it for free. The internet facilitates your contacts with other people. You can talk to each other using online calls or the messenger and e-mails. In addition to communicate wear the Net is cheaper than to call by phone. The Internet also can save you time and money. For example, instead of taking car or bus to go to pay your bills you can just to do it online. You can book tickets for a movie, pay taxes, transfer funds, make hotel reservation sitting at home. If you are planning to take a trip to a foreign country you can get all the information about this country. Very good benefit from the Net is that you are able to shop online which means you don’t need to take time to go to the shops. Moreover the Internet gives us the possibility to study online. It is a very convenient way for educational for the disabled persons. Besides, the Net helps to occupy your free time. You can watch movies or TV-shows, listen to music, play the games, and download films, music or plays. The Internet is good for people who have a lot of hobbies. So we see with the using the Internet our life can be easier. But on the other hand there some disadvantages on the Net. If you use the Net for online banking, social networking, or other services you may risk a theft to your personal information such as name, address, credit card number etc. Imprudent people can access this information through unsecured connection or by planting software and then use your personal details for their benefits. This may land you in serious troubles. Computers connected to the Internet are very prone to targeted virus attacks and may end up crashing. Moreover, we know that the Net is quite addictive. So there many people suffering from Internet addiction for instance online games or online shopping. The Internet addiction leads to a sedentary lifestyle and an epidemic of obesity. A growth of value of the Net may mean that our city centres become deserted wastelands. The physical isolation and loss of social interaction could put further strain on family relationships and lead to depression and mental health problems. The Internet cuts us off from the real world. We get so lazy we choose to spend a fine day in semi-darkness, glued to our seats, rather than go out with the friends or relatives.



I think the Internet plays a very big role in people’s life. It’s very important to have the world in our hands and the Net gives this possibility. But we have to make sure that we use it right because it has many disadvantages that can destroy our life as well.
