There are many Advantages and
disadvantages when it comes to the use of the internet. One advantage of the
internet could be that people have a quick and easy way to look up information.
As long as you have internet access you can search anything you want. Another
advantage would be that you can communicate with people easily through many
different social media sites. Transferring
media is also an advantage of the internet. Families and friends can easily
share photos or videos using the internet to stay in touch. The responsibility
of internet users is important because things that can be advantages could also
be disadvantages. When looking up information on the internet, people need to
be sure that they are going to reliable sources. There is a lot of false
information on the internet and it is the user’s responsibility to be able to
tell the difference. Communication is a huge advantage but to an irresponsible
person, it can be harmful to others. There are lots of teens that bully their
peers over the internet, leading to some very negative outcomes. Irresponsible
internet users can also use media sharing as a negative feature of the internet.
Inappropriate pictures and videos are sent over the internet every day and are
usually being seen by more people than expected. DoSomething.org states that among 14 to 24
year olds who admit to sexting, 29 percent send these messages to people they
have never met, but know from the Internet. Depending on the user, there are
many different opinions of advantages and disadvantages of the internet, but
everyone should try to us it as responsibly as possible.
Nice way of explaining your points of views. I agree with your points about file sharing and sexting. Not only are these children putting themselves in danger if the person on the other end isn't who they say they are but they are also never able to get that photo back. As I mentioned in my response even when you think something is gone it really never is.
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with what you said about how information is available to easily to everyone. In my opinion that is the number one best thing about the internet and I think that most people should really take advantage of that benefit. Some people use it for nonsense reasons which give it a bad reputation. Like the sexting. Not only is it embarrassing for the person who sends those pictures and then they end up online for everyone to see, it can ruin a lot of things for them later on in their lives.
ReplyDeletei agree with both of your statements. the advantages all are within communication and information. i also feel that the internet forces everything else to grow and evolve faster, for example with computers everyone must now know how to type. the disadvantages are that alot of illegal transactions and actions happen online. people also can hide behind a computer screen and bully any one without ever being caught .
