The internet is already become a part of our life. Most of people using the internet think it is the greatest invention in 20th century. On the other hand, most of parents of young children are worrying about being exposed their children to unfiltered information from the internet. In this essay, I will talk about the pros and cons of the internet.
Firstly, there are lots of advantages of using the internet. As the concept of its invention, all people can share most of information through the internet. Most of knowledge, from cooking recipes to academic articles, is being shared in the internet. This changed our life a lot. We used to go to library to find some information, and go to some special institution to learn specific skills. We, however, can get these information and education at home through the internet. People who are living in the country used to go to the big city to get information and education, however, they do not need to go anywhere for them. They can get that information and be educated at their home in the country over the internet. Another advantage is that people who are talent can be famous easier than before. We used to watch talent people only on the TV because it was the only way to broadcast to people. However, we can show our talent to over the world if we have a camera and the internet. These are very huge changes in our lives in good way. People can share more information, more chance to be educated and more chance to be famous, equally.
Of course, there is a bad side of using the internet. All internet users are exposed to any information. Therefore, young children can approach to the adult and violent sites without any filtering. This is the concern of most of parents. Not only the young, but also adult who cannot control and manage themselves may be easily addicted to use the internet. There are already many films made to warn the problem of internet, imaginary life in on-line, missing of off-line life, etc.
In conclusion, the internet could be either the best invention or the worst, and it is totally depending on how to use it. We should try to use this great invention in good way and teach our children how to use this. The young are amateur, so they may need our supervision. As the property of the internet, there are no other ways to control the internet users, but we should control by ourselves with education and supervision.
