The internet has greatly increased our access to information. To what extent do you think this is a good thing? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

The usage of the Internet has become increasingly common in recent times.

Although

I think that it maintains some obvious harmful consequences, I think that using the Internet will outweigh its disadvantages. On the one hand, there are two main reasons that the Internet is considered a destructive material.

Firstly

, data privacy is an ongoing issue that the Internet users encounter when surfing the Internet. Nowadays, many popular websites selling their

users'

user's

data,

such

as, personal information, habits and interests; without getting any consent from them.

For example

, in 2016, in the

last

presidential election in the US, where Trump was accused to influence people via social networks.

Secondly

, it is seen that there is a lot of youngster’s fallen prey for obscene content across many adult websites on the Internet. Many child psychologists feel that

this

activity in teenagers would start because of peer pressure and lead them to lose track of their own life.

On the other hand

, I personally feel that there are a handful of benefits through the Internet so that these drawbacks can be overlooked.

First

, the Internet is used as a medium to connect all parts of the globe. As a comparison of the previous generation with the current generation, the world looks the Internet as an added advantage since it is a known fact that people are not farther post the Internet era.

Second

, the evolution of the Internet has created more employment apart from traditional government jobs. Under a mutual benefit scheme, many multi-national companies established their offshore development centres in under-developed countries at a low cost to provide jobs for locals.

As a result

, the world has seen new emerging technologies that would benefit mankind. To conclude, despite the ideas of a data breach and sex abuse, the Internet has proven its strength in terms of social connections and employment creation.
