As computer technology industries are developing, nowadays, we can have personal computers and use the internet everywhere. It is hard to imagine what life would be like without computers and internet networks. It offers a lot of information, acts as interactive, entertainment etc. These things have great advantages, but there are some disadvangages in the control of the internet. I slightly agree with this opinion and I will explain about not only the dangers but also the benefits in this essay.
First, by expanding the internet services to our society, we can get a lot of information easily. If some people want to search for something that they need, they could get information that is related to what they want by clicking a few times. We can also handle our work such as banking and school to deal with our work. The internet makes our lives more convenient than before when we use it.
On the other hand, using the internet causes many problems like inequality and personal identity issues. The programs that a computer has might be hard for someone who has never learned how to use them. Even though every school has education systems about learning computers, it does not mean everyone can use a computer. For example, in my country, if the government changes the public train timetable and notice it only on the internet, my grandfather, grandmother, and even my parents would not know anything about the chang of the timetables before someont told them. This is because they do not how to check the timetable on the internet. Because on the internet space, we can be anyone we want to be even though it is not true. It is possible to make people who live in cyber space very addicted.
In conclusion, I understand the opinion that the internet has many benefits like convenience. However, I insist that it has many dangers as well such as inequalities and addictions so when we use the internet, we should watch out for these disadvantages. |
