인터넷이 귀중한 정보를 많이 제공하지만 문제점도 많이 발생한다. |
The Internet provides us access to a huge quantity of information on various subjects. It’s also very important in terms of info-tech, media etc. However, there are many problems that followed the benefits as well. The Internet not only has useful and educational information, but also useless and somewhat harmful information as well. For instance, we get to see tons of advertisement online and get tons of spam mails. We occasionally want neither of them. However, we see them because they are just there; it’s just the way it is. In exchange for access to a piece of information we actually want, we are exposed to useless and unwanted information too. Also, the Internet can affect pre-teens and teenagers in some bad ways. For one thing, it provides them with adult materials such as pornography or R-rated materials such as violent movies. Easy access to information means people can access to any information. The Internet is a good way to be exposed to many things which include unwanted or unsuitable things as well. On the other hand, the Internet is a good way to transfer files, and it’s causing another problem. We are supposed to buy albums to acquire songs, but most people just download them online. The Internet is also a place where people can exchange illegal files with no or minimum restriction. So-called P2P-Peer to Peer-is a big problem for song writers, movie makers etc. Once a file gets out, there is no way it can be destroyed completely; people duplicate and share the files. The speed of the Internet is so fast and there are numerous users. As a result, the files spread through online just like fire on a dry forest on a windy day. The development of Internet has given us so many benefits, but this development was not all beneficial. As we gained advantages, such problems followed along with the advantages. I think the problems are quite serious, and I believe that people, we, have to work on those to take the Internet into another level so that it’ll become a safer and more useful source for everyone. |
