The advantages and disadvantages of the Internet

The Internet seems to be one of the greatest wonders of the modern world. Nowadays, it is hard to find a house with no access to the Internet and every day, more and more people are discovering the amazing possibilities which it gives us . However , Internet has both advantages and disadvantages .
One advantage is that , without leaving your home, you can do shopping, have your photos developed, book holidays or even learn foreign languages. You can also buy many second-hand but cheap and good quality things like, for example, sport or photographic equipment . The Internet is the biggest and the most effective provider of the variety of resources and services. The World Wide Web also provides you with the access to a wide range of computer programs, games or the possibility to download your favorite music or film . The Internet facilitates your contacts with other people. Not only can you easily and quickly contact them via emails but you can also speak to them, thanks to the Internet communications program.
For every advantages that internet gives , there are some disadvantages . One disadvantages is , the Internet is very addictive. People never notice that they spend too much time in front of the computer screen and that they use the Internet more often than they really need . Also , it must be taken into consideration that the more Internet websites you enter, the more serious the risk that your computer will be into and some important or classified data will be stolen . However, the paradox is that while they facilitate your communication with others, at the same time they cause the deterioration of your contacts and relationships since it is much easier to stay at home and talk to somebody on the Internet instead of going out and socializing . The most dangerous of the crimes committed via the Internet is identity theft .Not only can your computer be into but it can also become infected with viruses which may destroy the hard drive and you will no longer be able to access the computer .
The Internet is undoubtedly one of the most important inventions of the last century, a proof of amazing technological progress. Its many advantages are appreciated by people of all ages and occupations. Nevertheless, it cannot be forgotten, that while the Internet offers unlimited possibilities, at the same time it poses a lot of threats. Therefore, we must take it into consideration before we let the virtual reality control our life
