Throughout the years, the internet has
been one of the most useful tools in our society. However, apart from all the
good things it has to offer to people, it has a bad side too.
The internet was something made from the
sacrifice and work of several genii. So, it was created to make our lives
easier. It enriched our society’s knowledge and culture using its amazing
capacity to share. It also permitted communication to faraway places and it
helped people at school and at work as it is a good source of information.
On the other hand, the internet is
responsible for unemployment and social problems such as: poverty, hunger and
nervous breakdowns; it distracts teens and adults that become addicted. Due to
that, it causes dehumanization, it isolates people and stops them from
developing social skills.
The internet’s good and bad sides are
still being debated but one thing is for sure, its positive influence always
comes linked to its negative one.
