The internet has transformed the way information is shared and consumed, but it has also created problems that did not exist before. What are the most serious problems associated with the internet and what solutions can you suggest?

The recent popularity of

internet

usage has caused significant changes in the way people consume and share information. There have been some problems associated with

this

like online theft and scams.

However

, the private and public sectors can work together to minimize the negative effects and allow us to enjoy the advantages of the

internet

. One of the

first

problems associated with

internet

usage comes from the fact that using the

internet

opens a door to the whole world. Some nefarious individuals can exploit

this

by masquerading as officials of a company or government to trick you into giving out private information like a bank account number, passport photo, or passwords to your account. These criminals can use

this

information to steal your money or blackmail your friends and family. Due to the severity of these crimes, it is important that the appropriate steps are taken to ensure that people have some protection when using the

internet

. Private sector companies could give warnings to all their customers that employees of their company will never ask for an account password.

This

alone would prevent many of these scams. Government around the world could be more active by creating a global online police force that tracks down the individuals perpetrating these crimes and putting them in jail.

This

would not only remove dangerous criminals from

society but

Accept comma addition

society, but

would discourage others from perpetrating crimes online. In summary, the

internet

is an amazing technological innovation that has transformed people's lives, but not without some negative impacts.

However

, it is my belief that if the right measures are taken by both businesses and governments, the

internet

can be made into a safe place for everyone.
