How to be a Responsible User of Internet?
Nowadays, most of us know how to use internet, we are very
familiar doing certain things with the internet. By using Internet, there are
so many things that we can do such as communicating with other people, getting
information, watching or listening for entertainment, etc. If there’s an internet, so we have those
social media accounts like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. We all know that most of us especially the
teenagers are very addicted in using the internet by doing certain things.
After researching, I found some advantages and disadvantages in using the
internet.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF INTERNET?
COMMUNICATION:
The main advantage of internet is the faster communication
than any other devices. It’s an instant process. Communication in the form of
video calls, emails etc. is possible using internet. Thus, there is no specific
region that can be accessed. It is accessible all over the world. Hence,
because of this global issues are reduced since video conferencing is possible
where everyone across the world can be in single place and can solve out a
problem.
INFORMATION:
The internet is the source of knowledge. All kinds of
information is present in it. it is easily accessed and can be searched more to
get more additional knowledge. Information like educational related, government
laws, market sales, stocks and shares, new creations etc. is gathered from a
single place.
LEARNING:
The internet has now become a part of education. Education
like home schooling is easily carried out using internet. Teachers can
upload their teaching videos in the internet and is accessed by people across
the world which is helpful for all students. The marks are also released in the
internet since, releasing mark for the whole institution in notice boards will
create chaos.
ENTERTAINMENT:
The internet is now the most popular form of entertainment.
Movies, songs, videos, games etc. is available in internet for free. Social
networking is also possible using internet. Hence, there is tons of
entertainment that is available in online in the internet.
SOCIAL NETWORK:
The social networking is the sharing of information to
people across the world. Apart from being an entertainment website, it has many
uses. Any job vacancy, emergency news, ideas etc. can be shared in the website
and the information gets passed on quickly to wide area. Also the social
networking websites are used to easy communications. Example: Facebook
and twitter.
E-COMMERCE:
All business deals can be carried in the internet like
transaction of money etc. this is called E commerce. Online reservations, online
ticket booking for movie etc. can be done easily. It saves us lots of time.
Online shopping is now the latest trend in internet world where products from
dresses to household furniture is available at door step.

WHAT ARE THE DISADVANTAGES OF INTERNET?
INFORMATION LOSS:
The information crucial to us or any important files can be
easily taken by the hackers. There is no exact proof for the security for the
details we store like account number, passwords etc. hence, sensitive
information must be carefully stored by the people.
SPAM:
The unnecessary emails, advertisements etc. sometimes are
said to be spam because they have the ability to slow down the system and makes
the users to face lots of problems. Spam makes the people get more confused
since important emails are also stored along with spam.
VIRUS ATTACKS:
The malware or virus threats are so deadly that affects the
system to a greater extend. It immediately deletes all important files and
finally the system ends up being crashed. The virus attack is possible in three
ways. One it attacks selected files. Two, it harms the executable boot files
and most dangerous of all is the macro virus which has the ability to replicate
and expand to all parts of files.
VIRTUAL WORLD:
The people using internet often
will forget the difference between virtual and real world. This causes the
people to get depressed quickly and it leads to social isolation and obesity
problems. The obesity is due to the lack of any physical exercises. So its
better to play outdoor rather in the internet.
After hearing those disadvantages how will you be a
responsible user?
