The Internet is so far one of the greatest
inventions of all time. The Internet has made
it possible for us to do lots of things. People
can shop in online stores like eBay,
communicate with family and friends via
Skype or Facebook, watch the latest videos on
YouTube, blog and make money from it, and
so much more.ADVANTAGES OF INTERNET
1.)UNLIMITED COMMUNICATION
* The Internet has made it easy for people to
communicate with others because it is cheap and
convenient. The only costs incurred are those paid to
the Internet service provider. If you want to talk to
someone who is in another part of the globe, you can
just fire up Skype or any other communication app and
hold a video chat.
* Services such as Skype have helped people from
geographically segmented countries to interact and
share ideas. As such, people are able to share their
thoughts and views on matters affecting the globe. The
Internet acts as common global platform where people
explore ideologies and cultures without limitation.2.)ABUNDANT INFORMATION
AND
RESOURCES
* The Internet is swamped with information about anything
and everything. There are multiple search engines that
have made it easier for Internet users to find information.
For example, it is now common for people to look for free
advice from the Internet on all sorts of issues. The premise
here is that whatever problem you are experiencing,
someone somewhere has experienced it and probably
solved it.
* You can also get the latest news, breakthroughs in all fields
including medicine and even research publications at the
click of a button. The Internet is basically a globally
accessible repository of knowledge, and the best part is
everyone gets to chip in.Easy Sharing
* Thanks to the Internet, sharing information is
fast and seamless. If you want to tell your 30
friends about your latest promotion, you can
do so in an instant. You can use social media
sites such as Facebook or an IM app. They will
all get the news at the same time. You can also
share music, videos and any other file.Online Services and E-commerce
* Today it is possible to carry out financial transactions
online. You can transfer funds, pay taxes and utility bills
or book movie tickets over the Internet in the comfort
of your office or home.
* The growth of e-commerce has made it possible for
people to shop for most things online. This has seen
the emergence of retail giants such as Amazon, Ebay
and Alibaba. They sell consumer goods globally. Such a
feat was virtually impossible before the InternetEntertainment
* This is one of the major reasons why many
people enjoy surfing the Internet —
entertainment. You can watch movies, listen
to music, read your favorite celebrity gossip
columns and play games over the Internet.
The Internet has become a mammoth
amusement park that never closesDisadvantages of the Internet
1.) Spam Mail
* Spamming is the sending of unwanted and useless
emails to random people. These emails obstruct the
recipient needlessly. They are illegal and can cause
frustration because they make it hard for people to
access their email accounts. Bots are used to bombard
your inbox with endless advertisements. This is quite
perplexing as it always gets mixed up with important
emails. Luckily, most email service providers have a
security system in place to prevent spam emails from
going to your inbox. All emails that are deemed
suspicious get their email ID or IP address blocked or
sent to the Spam folder.Inbox

SeaterVirus, Trojan & Other Malware
* These are malicious programs that plague the Internet time
and again. They attack a computer with the sole intent of
causing harm. They can make the computer malfunction or
even this can be very costly especially if you lose important
data. Worse yet is the fact that you can easily fall victim to
malicious software by clicking ona link on the Internet that
appears genuine. Internet viruses can be categorized to
three types - those that harm your executable boot files
and system, those that affect a specific file by destroying it
and those that keep changing things in your computer like
Word files. You can protect yourself by installing a reliable
anti-virus program on your computer before accessing the
Internet.Uetectin lon ej “War r

€Leakage of Private Information
* The fact that the Internet has become a
market place has also seen a rise in fraud
cases. Credit/debit card details are particularly
vulnerable. This calls for extreme caution
when transacting online. Make sure to use a
reliable payment processor instead of sending
your details directly to an individual or
business.Addiction to Internet
* Just like everything else, people also get addicted
to the Internet. This may sound bizarre, but some
people spend more than their fair amount of
time on the Internet. This affects their social
interactions a great deal. Internet addiction has
been known to be a major cause of obesity and
has, in some cases, led to some diseases like
carpal tunnel syndrome. With some help, people
addicted to the Internet can overcome this
challengeKids Exposed to Adults-Only Content
* The fact that Internet has all information you
could ever need is both a good thing and a bad
things. This is because it contains age-
inappropriate content like pornography.
Unfortunately, such content can be accessed by
children as young as ten. All guardians and
parents can do about it is lock out harmful sites
to keep their children safe. Nevertheless, this is
not a full proof strategy as children can still
access the Internet from other devices.Please be advised that this is Sexually
