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?

The usage of the

internet

has been omnipresent nowadays, ranging from its function to trading goods to arranging meetings with others virtually. Despite the surging trend of

internet

utilisation, there are both positive and negative effects emerged. In regard to

this

, the benefits of the

internet

are considered to outpace its drawbacks, and

this

essay will explain the reasons behind

this

argument. When it comes to the positive and negative

impacts

, any kind of digital innovation, including the

internet

may own both of them.

Nevertheless

, the empirical evidence tends to show that the

internet

has successfully spread more good values to

society

in terms of the betterment of people's quality of life.

For instance

, due to the emergence of the

internet

, the gap in the economy in Kenya has been reduced significantly by harnessing the

internet

economy mechanism. Not to mention, other emerging economies across the globe have

also

experienced the benefits of using the

internet

, particularly in spurring their industrialisation to spike economic growth.

For example

, countries in Southeast Asia have been able to increase their production by harnessing the advanced

Internet

of Things technology. While the aforementioned examples have proven that the usage of the

internet

has critically helped to raise the quality of well-being in

society

, several drawbacks cannot be overlooked. One of the main culprits is the threatening cybercrimes that are faced by governments across the globe.

However

, when it comes to the question of which

impacts

more influence

society

, the positive

impacts

of the

internet

are inclined to prevail because most governments have commenced securing their cyberspace by developing cyber security policies.

In addition

, the number of cyber victims is less compared to the number of people who have significantly improved their well-being quality by harnessing the

internet

on a daily basis. In conclusion, the usage of the

internet

has increased exponentially in recent years due to its ability to support human activities from shopping to engage relations with others.

In addition

, the rise of

internet

users globally has begotten both positive and negative

impacts

, yet it seems to be admitted that the

internet

tends to be more beneficial rather than harmful for

society

.
