We live in a world of technology these days. While the internet brings with it clear advantages, the problems in terms of control and security of information outweighs the advantages. To what extend do you agree?

Currently we humans are living in a technological world. We have surrounded ourselves with the usage of technology in everything. I completely agree that the
internet
 gives multiple advantages, like providing
information
 at a click of a button, but it overrides the concerns of safety and protection of our data. On one hand, technology like the
internet
 and social networking sites are benefitting every individual in
this
 world. We are developing technology in all areas of business in order to ease our life.
For example
, before Facebook and WhatsApp, communicating with people in other parts of the world was very expensive. But with the
internet
 and the development of
such
 sites, it enabled us to be in touch with everyone and to make friends with people from other country.
On the other hand
, for using these sites they ask for several permissions. And they have complete control over what you are searching or posting. It is the biggest threat of using the
internet
, because once you post something on the
internet
, it stays with them even after you delete it from your account.
Also
, recently many people do online financial transactions and service providers have all of your
information
. Even though they claim that it is the secure web page, it isn’t and there are groups of people who are there to hack those data and try to misuse it.
For example
, in 2018, a group of hackers hack the data of the Oberoi group of hotels and they took all the
information
 of their guests which includes, passport data and card details. In the end, the hotel has to pay a hefty amount to settle the claim from their guests. In conclusion,
although
 the
internet
 provides numerous benefits, but it is coming at a cost of providing your
information
 to the service provider. To avoid any crisis, an individual should provide as little
information
 as they could and they should do financial transactions only through the trusted sites. At the same time, companies should ask for the requisite
information
 only.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
