Many people are using the Internet more than in the past. Do the advantages of the Internet outweigh the disadvantages?

Today, the

internet

is being used more than ever before.

Although

the

internet

creates an easy access to more information and a range of entertainment options, I still think the drawbacks of

this

trend outweigh the benefits. Most people are using the

internet

as a source of information and entertainment. The advent of the

internet

meant that even people living in the developing parts of the world can have an access to high-quality education offered by the world’s top universities.

This

unprecedented opportunity has only been possible thanks to the

internet

.

Furthermore

, for many young people, the

internet

offers a lot of entertainment options. They can surf the web, stream movies or songs, and play games online. If it were not for the

internet

, a lot of young people nowadays would not be enjoying these activities. I,

however

, think that using the

internet

too much can result in people having less verbal communication. Many people use social media to communicate, which means they now have less face-to-face interaction with friends and family.

However

,

this

could have a negative impact on their relationship as online interaction cannot provide genuine communication as in-person interaction.

Additionally

, too many people are finding it difficult to reduce the amount of time they spend on the

internet

. The

internet

is so addictive that they cannot stay without using it.

This

habit of using the

internet

constantly is negatively affecting their concentration, relationships and studies, failing to curb their use of the

internet

. In conclusion, despite being a rich source of knowledge, the

internet

could lead people to being less social. I,

therefore

, think that the disadvantages of

this

trend outweigh the advantages.
