With the advent of the

internet

it is safe to say that our lives have been changed entirely.

Although

a lot of these changes are for the better, it has presumably caused a few serious problems too. Since the new era of social media, we are being drifted apart from our friends and family and

furthermore

, being dragged into the endless sea of online posts.

Also

, these posts could be made by a thief

instead

of a scientist, trying to steal your money.

However

, with enough education, we can prevent these problems from happening.

Firstly

, social media has certainly affected how we treat each other, more so in a bad way. We see our family and friends less often and when we do, we're distracted by our countless messaging applications.

Furthermore

, we are exposed to so many strangers online that we always need to look out for ourselves.

Otherwise

, we are likely to lose our money and even more concerning, identity.

For instance

, a whole new topic based on security in the online environment is created and it is known as cybersecurity. It belongs to the study of the ways in which cybercriminals can be a threat to the users of

internet

services.

Hence

, though the problems caused by the

internet

era are few, they are rather serious.

On the other hand

, the

internet

's vast and endless environment has left us with no choice but to educate ourselves about the

internet

and

moreover

, never lower our defence against the frauds and criminals behind our screens. There are a variety of online courses and articles on how to preserve our privacy.

Also

, we should study the principles and articles about our online security.

For example

, if an application developer is aware of the best practices relating to security, his final product will be much safer for both the users and the company.

Thus

, if we want to fight against all of the online threats, we need to keep ourselves updated and study

this

topic to be prepared.

To conclude

, every tool has its advantages and disadvantages and indeed, the

internet

is no exception. Humans need to take the matter of cyber safety more seriously and start to educate themselves in order to be less prone to the threats available.

Also

, we should learn how to use the

internet

enough and properly so as to not get isolated and forgotten in real life.
