Internet offers us a lot of valuable resources. We can visit lot so websites and get information. Students can search for information in order to do their homework. Businessman can communicate with their clients, advertise their products, sell their products online. Everyone can use Internet for communication purposes. For instance, we can communicate with our loved ones when we are far away from them.
The advantages of using Internet are innumerable:
One of the most important advantages is that it is useful for those who are unable to go out of the house. For instance, if you have to spend your life on the chair, then having access to Internet will enable him or her to communicate with everyone in the world. It will enable him/her to socialize on the net, make friends. Secondly, access to Internet will enable you to follow the current news in the world and learn what is happening out there. For instance, you can read online daily newspapers to find out what is happening around us. Consequently, we update ourselves about current events. Thirdly, Internet is a great opportunity to have access to sources in English such as newspapers, articles, encyclopedias, and other educational resources.We can improve our English by reading articles and learn new words. It also helps us read fluently. Apart from reading, we can have access to listening materials such as podcasts, BBC News which help us to improve our listening skills.Exposure to English language will help students who are willing to improve their English. In addition, we can have search to many resources and articles on the help which will help us to learn about specific subjects such as enginnering, teaching, art, and sciences. While Internet has some advantages such as getting information very quickly and communicate easily at the same time it has some disadvantages of children visiting some dangerous sites and online robbery is another issue. Firstly, there are some bad people out there. Therefore, we must be very careful when we chat online and we should not trust what people we really don’t know.
Secondly, we should not give our credit card details when we write emails.
Finally, some student are obsessed with Internet use and they spend hours and hours on the net instead of studying. Also some bad aspects such as gambling or pornographic sites, you can enter and play games for many hours оr sites like facebook or twitter malicious to me like an extremely unnecessary to spend hours on such social media and I find it an antisocial behavious and personality builder as I think it is a waste of valuable time. To sum up, using Internet is a great opportunity for all of us to improve ourselves while doing research as well as to communicate with each other. However, we need to be careful when we are online which is important for our safety. I strongly believe that Internet might not be as harmful as we might think of if we are careful and protect ourselves online.
