There has been a constant argument in the general
population
of whether the government should take the tender and provide free
internet
or it should be a paid service. Though I believe that the
Internet
should be a right and should be provided to all, free of cost. I would like to discuss both their point of view in
this
essay. Many families believe that the
internet
is the most important invention of
this
era. It was developed in the 1950s by the American Military for communication. But over the years it became a hub of knowledge. Whatever we want to learn is readily available on the
internet
. Most of the
population
use
the
internet
as a global Encyclopaedia where most provide and share their knowledge with the world. The best example of
this
is a Social Media platform called LinkedIn. Many crowds on LinkedIn share are their experiences and help each other to grow and achieve their targets in any field that they want. In my case, being a software engineer, I used to be worried about my placements.
However
, many societies on LinkedIn has shared their experiences and steps that they followed to get selected for a company. Reading those helped me to improve myself and get into the Software Industry. Despite these benefits, there is a segment of people who misuses the power of the
internet
. They make a fraud website and collects your data to
use
it against you.
For example
, we have heard many cases of the
population
giving their bank account details on a website that was used by a fraudster and those corrupt individuals
use
your money for their pleasures.
On the other hand
, the
Internet
enriches a person, there are so many video streaming websites that show people the cultures around the world while sitting in their homes. There are millions of series that helps individuals to learn about other cultures. The top 2 series that I used to watch were the F.R.I.E.N.D.S and The Big Bang Theory. These shows showed how kind the
population
are, what holidays they celebrate, how they treat each other, etc. The latter promotes the nerd culture to its fullest. a nation who are smart and how society treats them, how they improve themselves to tackle problems.
However
, there has been a negative to
this
, due to lack of knowledge or the reluctance of society, many users
use
a low strength password, which can be used by a hacker. A social media profile contains a lot of personal information, but if it’s not secured using a strong password. A Hacker can easily help it against you. One of my friends was on the receiving end of
this
type of hacking. He had a simple password which the hacker was able to crack and
then
he used that information for his benefit causing my friends, a lot of stress. In my ,opinion the community should be given the
internet
for free by the government as it helps a lot of the public like me to achieve goals. The benefits of the
internet
are more when used correctly.
