Many people use the Internet to search for information, to broaden their knowledge. Many
others use it to chat with their friends. However, they have not optimized the functions of the Internet

Hoax e-mail messages distribute false, often disturbing, information designed to recipients into
passing the same note onto other E-mail users. On the surface, this does not sound like a terribly
threatening or bothersome practice. However, hoaxes, and those who choose to distribute them
can do real damage, both physical and mental.
Each message sent from a user’s e-mail account requires the expenditure of resources on the
computer of origination. On every computer network it happens to pass through or into. Like a
spam or virus, your mailbox can’t be hoax free. Hoaxes are often sent your friends, coworkers,
family and so on. This is the main reason why they are able to multiply and spread so easily over
the world. Multiplied exponentially by constant forwarding and re-forwarding around the world, a
single hoax message can result in huge overall energy drains. You, the end-user would experience
this drain in the form of a slow Internet connection or low hard drive space on your PC or e-mail
profile.
Physical damage like this is a nuisance at best. However, hoaxes have a sinister effect on
computer users who receives them. Not only can hoaxes create personal anxiety and mass panic,
but, when received in quantity by a single user, they can cause complacency. A complacent
attitude towards the mail arriving in an e-mail account on a regular basis could cause a user to
stop watching for the true threats posed by e-mail messages. That could lead to personal disaster.
In conclusion, the hoax has a real impact on physics and human psychology.
