The Internet, Our Saviour, and Doom
The Internet, Our Saviour, and Doom
The internet is a vast society of sorts. A society where you can share
valuable information, provide advice, display your achievements, help
others, etc. As beautiful as the internet is, it is just as cunning.
Just as with everything the internet also has its disadvantages, which
range from something as simple as addiction to cyberbullying.
Some disadvantages are:
- Cyberbullying
- Addiction
- Self-harm
- Spread of fake news
- Data leaks
- Cyber security breaches
These disadvantages cause more problem than one, mainly in the ages
8-20 but can happen at various ages. The most common victims of the
internet are children and elders. Children are often bullied and called
names that result in self-harm, deprive of mental health, suicide, and
low self-esteem etc. Elders are often caught victims of scammers,
which end in the loss of high amounts or the spread of rumours that
sometimes have extreme effects.
The internet is useful and vast in all its glory but can become harmful
and dangerous as well. The internet if used wisely can be a great tool to
humanity and otherwise rather a key to destruction.
