INTERNET
Hi, internet user. Do you enjoy using internet? What do you usually do when you're on the internet? Do you do only the things which benefits you much? Or do you just surf around the internet for entertainment? Well, you don't really need to let me know your answers for these few questions.
Internet is a very useful tool especially for communication, business and downloading softwares and programmes. Internet enables us to communicate with people from other countries. We can learn lots of things from people who are from other countries like: the climate of other countries, the culture of other countries and the list goes on.
There are even some people who 'publish' their web site in the internet (like me). Now, there are millions and millions of web site. Some are about philosophy. Some about entertainment. Some about a specific singers. And, unfortunately, some are hatred, and pornography. There are even web sites which encourages youths to take drugs and dishonour their parents. These kind of sites are really killing the society of the world(especially the youths who are easily absorbed by the bad things).
All of us already knew that there are pornography and hatred web site around the internet. These few things are pests in the internet and to our society. These things can cause youths to be so absorbed by those things until they can not abide social norms. It can just make youths to deteriorate academically and characteristically.
That's not all actually. Some people spread rumours in the internet. For example, computer virus attacks, political rumours, rumours of wars and the list goes on ceaselessly. Some rumours may cause panic and unrest in some countries. Rumours usually spread through e-mails, ICQ, IRC and many more.
Do you usually obtain information on the internet? Do you know that there are some web sites tell 100% lies? This is really true. I previously heard of a news from the radio that some medical web sites tell wrong information and some of them even sell some medical products which are detrimental to our health just because they want to earn some money. It can cause lots of side-effects on our health. However, not all tell the wrong information. Some web sites tell only the truth. Nothing but the truth. So, it is better for you to be more critical next time when you get some information from the internet.
It is actually advisable not to tell your real identity and address to people whom you chat in the internet. This is more for ladies. If a lady tells her identity, she might be in danger. Some men in the internet (not all but some) have bad motives when they want to find a lady in the internet. If a man managed to find a lady in the internet and managed to know her address and her appearance, then that lady MIGHT be in deep trouble. The lady might be raped, then she becomes insane and end up in an asylum.
Wow! Looks like there are many disadvantages. What can we do to help this society. Perhaps, launch some campaigns to prevent things from becoming worse. Parents should also advise their children not to be mesmerized by pornography and hatred web sites in the internet. Maybe we can appeal to the government to take action against people who do not abide the 'internet's norms'.
As a conclusion, internet is a very useful tool if it is not misused.
