Advantages and Disadvantages of the Internet

As we know the internet is accessible to every information we want within a fraction

of a second. It gives more results and increases productivity. There are many
Advantages of the Internet, Lets now see and learn what they are −
Advantages of Internet
 Connectivity − As we know we are connected to the internet to stay
connected with our family, friends, colleagues, services, etc.
 Information − We can search and get many search results for our questions
and the information can increase knowledge.
 Online Payment − Using payment modes such as Paytm, GPay, and Bhim
UPI are many payment methods to pay online.
 Digital Marketing − We are making our websites and making business online.
 Net Banking Services − Banking services such as payment, debit, credit,
changing our details, and scheduling payment are an integral part of secure
payment.
 Productive Collaboration − As we experienced, after the Covid pandemic,
we have worked from home and made things work better than ever before by
connecting through video conferencing and saving mobility.
As we know Internet has some of its disadvantages also, let’s now consider them −
Disadvantages Of Internet
 Wastage of time − Considering today’s lifestyle, one prominent advantage of
the Internet is addiction. People are getting addicted to the internet, watching
videos and reels without realizing they are wasting so much of their time.
 Cybercrime − It is increasing rapidly as more information is shared and
getting leaked.
 Accessibility of pornographic content − It is accessible to even children
since there is complex information shared every day and it is hard to figure out
the source of these images and videos. This is a big concern regarding
children and their minds, parental security is necessary on mobile phones
being used by children.
 Identity theft − It is one major concern on a bigger level such as higher
organizations, government, and private sectors.
 Increase in cyber attacks in the banking sector and corporate sector −
Information is getting leaked, shared, and misused for harm, theft, privacy
violation, and harassment.
 Fake Information or Misleading − People nowadays can easily manipulate
any information and reclaim it to be true this could mislead people and their
reliability towards information shared.

E-Learning
 To get started, let’s establish an eLearning definition. So, what is
eLearning? eLearning, or electronic learning, is the delivery of
learning and training through digital resources. Although eLearning
is based on formalized learning, it is provided through electronic
devices such as computers, tablets and even cellular phones that
are connected to the internet. This makes it easy for users to learn
anytime, anywhere, with few, if any, restrictions. Basically,
eLearning is training, learning, or education delivered online through
a computer or any other digital device. Check out our eLearning
Glossary which is jam packed full of eLearning terms.

. In the years since, eLearning’s reputation has gone from strength

to strength. But what factors have facilitated eLearning in becoming
the most popular way to deliver training today? Some of these
factors include:

 The Internet – Prior to the rise of the internet, many relied on

printed manuals, CD-ROMS and other restrictive methods for
learning and training. The rise of the internet allowed organizations
to abandon one-dimensional practices and utilize the flexibility of
eLearning.
 Development of Multimedia – As eLearning progressed, the ability
graphics
to integrate elements such as images, videos, audio and
proved to be a more reliable way of keeping learners
engaged compared to traditional learning.
 Affordable Digital Devices – Considering the first
IBM computer cost the equivalent of almost $5000
today, it’s understandable that eLearning popularity
rose as digital devices became more affordable.
Mobile learning also hugely facilitated the growth of
eLearning.
 Well-Built Learning Management Systems – LMS’s
have become more sophisticated, moving from locally
installed to cloud-based systems, with organizations
increasingly applying them to execute many forms of
training. There are many things to consider when
choosing an LMS; at a minimum ensure it has the
functionality and support you need to meet your
objectives and those of your learners.
Conventional sources of energy
The energy sources that are present for a long time found naturally on or beneath the
Earth and take a long time to produce or replenish are known as conventional sources of
energy. Generally, these are also non-renewable energy sources. The conventional
sources of energy are again divided into two categories, commercial and non-commercial
energy sources.

Commercial energy sources: To get energy from these kinds of sources, we need to pay
for it.

The consumption price depends on various factors like demand and supply, availability,
feasibility etc. A few examples are,nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

(a) Electricity: It is the most common and essential form of energy which we use in our
daily life. It runs many home appliances like fridges, bulbs, washing machines etc, also
used in commercial buildings and in production units. Electricity is produced by various
commercial energy sources in power plants like nuclear power plants, hydroelectric
power plants, and thermal power plants.
(b) Coal: It is a type of fossil fuel which is present beneath the surface of the Earth and
was formed by decomposed organic materials due to the high compression and
temperature due to Earth’s layers. It takes millions of years to form coal which we use.
Therefore it is a non-renewable energy resource.
(c) Natural gas and oil: These are also obtained from fossil fuels and are present beneath
the surface of the Earth and formed from decomposed organic materials. They are in such
form because of the high compression and temperature of the Earth’s layers. Natural gas
and oil also take a very long time to produce but can be used instantly therefore these are
also known as non-renewable energy resources.

Non-commercial energy sources: The energy resources which are generally available are
free to use. Examples are firewoods, cow dung, and straw. Firewoods are obtained from
the trees and plants, dung is obtained from animal wastes and straw is obtained from the
crop plants like wheat crops, rice crops etc.
Another effective way for Trainees to register a formal complaint or
propose a specific change in the training program is to discuss it
individually with the Training Director. Then, if necessary, the issue
can be formally brought before either the Supervisors' Group or
Training Committee.
GREIVANCES OF LEARNING
58A grievance is a sign of employee’s discontent with job and its
nature. The employee has got certain aspirations and
expectations which he thinks must be fulfilled by the organisation
where he is working. When the organisation fails to satisfy the
employee needs, he develops a feeling of discontent or
dissatisfaction.
Grievance is word which covers dissatisfaction or a
feeling of injustice and which has one or more of the
following characteristics:

i. It may be unvoiced or expressly stated by an employee;

ii. It may be written or verbal;

iii. It may be valid and legitimate, untrue or completely false, or

ridiculous; and

iv. It may arise out of something that is connected with the

organisation in some way or the other.

The following are the important tools which help in

discovering the grievances:

1. Exit Interview:

Employees generally quit the organisations due to dissatisfaction

or better prospectors elsewhere. Exit interview, if conducted
effectively, can provide vital information about employee’s
grievances.

2. Gripe Boxes:

These are boxes in which the employees can drop their

anonymous complaints in the organisations about the causes of
dissatisfaction. It is different from the suggestion scheme system
in which employees drop their named suggestions with an
intention to receive rewards.

3. Opinion Surveys:

Group meetings, periodical interviews with employees, collective

bargaining sessions are some other means through which one can
get information about employee’s dissatisfaction before it turns
into a grievance.

4. Open Door Policy: :

In this policy no employee is prevented from going to

management directly with his grievance. It is useful in the case of
small organisation but in a large organisation this would not be
possible because the top management may not have the time to
attend to each grievance at a personal level.

5. Grievance Procedure:

It is one of the most important means for employee to express

their dissatisfaction. It also helps to management to keep a check
on relevant diagnostic data on the state of the organisation’s
health. Thus it is important to have a grievance procedure to
process grievances.
