Can you believe almost 25 years ago, internet was a dream come true? No one thought an idea like this would ever happen. Was internet a good thing for us or a bad thing? Others may say it opens to a whole new world of possibilities and opportunities that we could never achieve without the internet. The other side thinks it will just ruin the foundation that we have built up our whole lives.
Pros of the Internet:
- Information is available on the internet 24/7. Libraries can close early and you have to scan for books.
- There are many new jobs that opened up because of the internet.
- Businesses and franchises are at ease when they store their information into documents on the computer where they can never be lost.
- It entertains us!
- You can see your family members and video chat with them even if they're half-way across the pacific ocean.
Cons of the Internet
- Researchers say that teens aren't getting the social needs they get from meeting people face to face. They start to become accustomed to talking with them online.
- Teens are always letting out their information on the web.
- Teens and adults have become more obese because they spend to much time on the internet.
- Teens and adults don't get their daily Vitamin D outside that they need.
- Your safety is compromised whenever you have online banking.
- Safety is also compromised when you have a Facebook or Twitter and have your picture out there.
I don't really know whether or not the internet was a blessing or a curse on us. I guess it's how you decide to use that's really important. The internet is a big responsibility. You either ruin your life with it, or you can open up to all it has to offer.
