These days people are using the Internet for shopping, work and to communicate with others without the need for face-to-face meetings. Do the advantages of this development outweigh its disadvantages?

Nowadays, indeed people are using the

internet

more than before to purchase products from the

internet

that they want to have. And

also

they want to chat with loved ones, colleagues and friends who are living far away via the

internet

. In

this

essay, I am going to compare the advantages and disadvantages of

this

trend. 

Firstly

, one of the disadvantages is inactivity and its consequences

such

as a sedentary lifestyle and ill-health. Another danger of shopping online is the possibility of banking information being stolen by hackers.

Also

, you can become addicted to shopping online, you may buy something you don't really need.

On the other hand

, the advantages of operating online are numerous. One of the

first

is you are saving time and effort by doing all your purchases while sitting in front of a computer screen.

Additionally

, due to work from home possibilities companies are able to save on rental and utility expenses and make operations more profitable.

Furthermore

, the problems of pollution and traffic are done away with when fewer people commute to work.

Moreover

, the number of contacts that you can network with increases with the

internet

which is very advantageous. To sum up, everything that I have said so far, I would say using the

internet

has both advantages and disadvantages you have to find a way to increase the benefits and reduce the detriment.

However

, we are very happy to have the

internet

because it makes our life much easier especially when our loved ones stay in a different country.
