The Internet - For and Against

The Internet is an invention that has revolutionized our lives. Since it was invented, more and more people of all ages all over the world have used it. No doubt, the Internet has revolutionized our lives. In my essay, I would like to present the advantages and disadvantages concerning the Internet revolution.

On the one hand, the Internet has a lot of advantages. For example, it is a great source of information. You can find almost everything in minutes, without making any effort. Moreover, you can communicate with people all over the world. This way of communication is much cheaper than the regular calls and in many cases is free. In addition to that, the Internet has changed our consumption habits. We do not need to go from shop to shop in order to compare prices or buy something, all we need to do is to surf the relevant website and purchase it online.

On the other hand, the Internet has disadvantages. The Internet is anonymous and there is lack of supervision. Therefore, there are bad people like pedophiles, who use this anonymity in order to commit horrible crimes against children. In addition, the Internet can expose young children to inappropriate contents, which can be traumatic for them and actually harm them. Another drawback is the fact that people are surfing(gr.) the Internet for many hours and, therefore, they do not go out and exercise as much as they used to do in the past. Consequently, people have changed their social life and as result many people become overweight(what is the connection between the changes in people's social life and being over weight?).

To conclude, in the(מיותר) light of (the) above, the Internet has its advantages and disadvantages. In my opinion, people can benefit from the use of the Internet if they use it in a smart way so as not to be addicted to it. People should keep in mind that the Internet is a means to an end, it is definitely not the end.

Very good work, as always.
