As globalization grows rapidly in
this
era, the
Internet
becomes a prime pivotal media in many aspects of life. Some public

states

that the
Internet
could be the perfect place to communicate, but some
also
argue that it might not be a great place to gather accurate sources. The writer will discuss both of the stated views and
also
the perspective for the motion. The
Internet
helps
society
to communicate with each other easily. As could be seen, there are many types of communication spreading around and mainly it needs the
internet
. Starting from only calls, text messages, chats, video calls, voice notes and so on.
This
upgrade in communication enables us to make life easier.
For example
, a son who works in East Java can easily contact or see his mother through video calls. They can talk 2 or 3 times a day and spend almost an hour on each call. It really benefits both of them as the parents would be less worried about their son’s well-being and the son
also
would always know about his parents' health and other things. Even though the
internet
already gives benefits, the drawbacks lie in the accuracy of the
data
and the case of identity theft. Since the
internet
could be easily accessed by many

societies

from many different backgrounds, the info posted on it
also
might get manipulated easily.
This
manipulated info has an inclination to many hoaxes and misunderstandings of a certain topic. Sometimes,
this
false
data
or news might create a big commotion in
society
. There is
also
a chance of identity theft with the
data
, pictures, and educational background of someone that could be accessed by everyone around the world. The
data
can be used to do some illegal crimes and lead to false sentences for innocent
society
. From the reasons above, the writer suggests seeing the
internet
from two sides of the coin. All in all, the
internet
has its own white and black side, as for the white side it has already been proved by every occupant with how easy they communicate towards each other, the limitation of the area will not be a big problem anymore. While for the black side, the false
data
and even the fake identity could easily spread around the community.
Therefore
, as
internet
users, people should have meticulous research about the information before accepting it and people
also
should protect their private information to make sure it would not be misused by anonymous persons on the
internet
.
