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

data,

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

last

presidential election in the US, where Trump was accused to influence people via social networks.
Secondly
Linking Words
, 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
Linking Words
, I personally feel that there are a handful of benefits through the Internet so that these drawbacks can be overlooked.
First
Linking Words
, 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
Linking Words
, 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
Linking Words
, 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.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
