The Pros of the Internet

1. Unlimited Access To Information

Anything you could ever imagined can be found and learned about in detail on
the internet. There are millions upon millions of websites that are dedicated to
all different types of topics. This wealth of information helps people to better
understand things that they may have never thought or cared about before.
2. Bridging The Culture Gap

Communication has been another incredible by product of the internet. People

can connect to people all over the world with just a few clicks of the mouse.
This has resulted in a much better acceptance and understanding of different
cultures around the world.
3. Jobs, Business, And Marketing

Ever since the commercialization of the internet, the business world has never
been the same. The ability to reach wide spanning markets, collect valuable
research on potential customers, and conduct business in other parts of the
country or world, has created a virtual business boom that no one could have
for seen. Along with the business sides of things, people now also have the
ability to search and apply for jobs completely through the internet, which has
opened up the world job market to many people with valuable skills to offer.
4. Endless Entertainment
Right along the economical and financial aspects of the internet,
entertainment has also been forever changed. Any movie, music, game,
books, or software that you could possibly think of is available right on the
world wide web. It has completely shifted the way that we entertain ourselves.
5. New Connections
Dating and other social sites are a booming section of the internet, that has
altered the process of finding a partner for life. Whether it be friends or a
spouse, people are making new connections with people that they may have
never met otherwise. It broadens the view of access to meet and mingle with
new people.

The Cons of the Internet

1. A Breeding Ground For Illegal Activity
One of the unintended consequences of the internet has been the
immense amount of illegal and dangerous activity that it has harbored
and perpetuated. The ease of information has given insight for
burglaries, terrorist attacks, kidnappings, and many other types of
crimes. It also sparked a crime of a different sort, but on a monumental
level. This crime is piracy, which is downloading or distributing materials
 such as movies or music, without the consent of the person who owns
it. It is possibly the most committed crime in today’s society, because
people simply do not view it as a true problem.
2. However, artists, software developers, and producing companies would
strongly disagree. Before the internet, if you wanted to hear the latest
album or see the newest movie, you had to go and pay for that privilege,
now they can simply be downloaded for free.
2. The World Is Becoming Dependent
All of our information is not stored with the use of the internet. This means our
medical records, criminal records, educational records, and finance records
are all completely dependent on the security of the sites that they reside on.
Computer viruses are very common and are becoming more and more
aggressive. They are transferred through the communication access of the
internet and if one was designed well enough, it could shut down the
economy.
3. Compromises Personal Information
Everything that you search or put onto the internet is completely traceable to
the person it belongs to. While this is used for crime prevention, it also much
more commonly used as a means of gaining market data. If you search
something about shoes, you will suddenly begin to see ads for shoe sellers on
every website you visit, and even begin to get ads from shoe stores in the
mail. Much secure information is also put voluntarily into the cyber world, like
bank information and social security numbers. Hackers can easily access this
information and commit fraud and identity theft.
4. Children Are Vulnerable and Exposed
There is no way to truly verify age on the internet, this is a big concern
because there is a wealth of content that should not be accessed by children.
Pornographic material is the most prominent, and children can very easily
stumble upon these types of websites and be exposed to things that they
should not be. Along with finding inappropriate materials online, children are
also at a great risk because of how easy it is to communicate with people.
Children every day are persuaded by online “friends” to meet them or do
things for them that put them at great risk.
The Pros and Cons of the Web

The World Wide Web was created for humans to share information, ideas, and opinions. People can
now gather the information they want in minutes by simply searching for it on the World Wide Web.
The number of people with access to the Web increases each year, making the Web one of the best
places for companies to advertise. They can reach more people by advertising on a popular website
directed at their intended audience than a billboard. The World Wide Web is also a great source of
entertainment. Videos, games, and music can be conveniently accessed by people without leaving their
homes. People can also interact with others who share their interests. Connecting with people all over
the world has been made much easier with the Web. Although the Web serves its intended purpose, it is
also used by many people with malicious intent. The information put onto the Web is not all accurate
and misleading information can be quite common. The Web also holds an abundance of information on
individual people. This has made scamming people easier than it used to be. The World Wide Web is
brilliant, but has faults as well.

Information gathering and entertainment is now incredibly convenient with the World Wide Web.
Students who want to do research only need to type the keyword(s) into a search engine, such as
Google, and they will receive thousands of web pages on the topic. This is much faster and better than
searching through books. Any query that a Web user might have can be answered by posting the
question onto a forum or searching on a search engine. This method of asking a question is more
effective than asking individual people. The question will be seen by many people of different expertise,
therefore having a greater chance of being answered correctly. Faster information access also means
that news will spread faster and further. The World Wide Web provides access to sources of
entertainment. Movies and TV shows can now be viewed online. People can download music from sites
such as iTunes instead of going out to buy CDs. Gaming sites are common as well, and Web users can
choose from a wide variety of different game genres. Even books can now be read online. Information
and entertainment can be accessed on the World Wide Web faster, easier, and at people’s leisure.

The Web is used by millions of people, therefore great for reaching specific groups of people. Users can
connect with others who share their interests quicker and more conveniently than before. Many
websites are geared towards a specific audience and have large communities of active users. These
websites are especially beneficial for people living in remote areas with a small population or people
who do not know many others with the same interests. Users can publish stories, pictures, videos, etc.
on the topic and receive feedback from others. These sites are great also because most feedback would
be supportive since visitors of the site are people with the same interest. Businesses are taking
advantage of these websites to advertise because they know the sites are frequented by their
customers. This method is very effective because thousands of their intended audience will see the ad.
The World Wide Web’s ability to connect so many people of different backgrounds is beneficial to
virtually everyone who uses it.

The World Wide Web is not without faults. Information found on the Web is not all true and some sites
cannot be relied upon as much as books. Researchers must be careful about which sites they take
information from. This can sometimes be hard to do since there are so many sites on the Web with
relevant information. Therefore, it is important to double check the information found and only use
reliable sources. The ease of information access on the Web has also made plagiarism easier. People can
now copy and paste or print the articles, stories, images, etc. they find on the Web and easily pass it off
as their own. In the long run, it is not advantageous for either the plagiarizer nor the person getting
plagiarized. The popularity of plagiarism has lead to the development of software and other
technologies that can catch plagiarized work. Furthermore, inaccurate information is not always put
onto the Web purposely for misleading others. The author might believe in what (s)he posts even if the
information is actually false. Thus, people getting knowledge off the Web should always be careful about
its validity.

Another problem is that there is a lot personal information on the Web. This includes addresses,
telephone numbers, credit card numbers, pictures, etc. Some information could have been posted
without permission from the rightful owner(s) and this can get the poster into serious trouble when they
are found. Nowadays, many people enjoy sharing pictures and stories about their life with others. They
may not take into consideration who would be able to see the information they post. Incidents have
happened in that past where pedophiles, scammer, and other online predators have taken advantage of
the information for identity theft, breaking and entering, and other crimes. Cases of identity theft have
increased dramatically and it is much easier to steal people’s identity with the current technology. Many
people also trick innocent Web users into parting with their money. Lastly, it is best not to have any
inappropriate photos on the web. Superiors, colleagues, and strangers may all be able to see it. There
have been occasions where people have gotten fired because of the stories they post about their boss
on the Web or because they have inappropriate photos or videos that tarnish the company’s image.
People must be careful about the information they publish onto the World Wide Web.

The World Wide Web is constantly expanding. Everyday, a magnitude of new information is added.
While the Web has made people’s lives more convenient, are the risks involved worth it? Most would
say yes, but those that have fallen victim to the threats of the Web may be more cautious. With the
invention of the Web, humans can connect with others, spread news, and research a lot faster. Tasks
can be done much quicker than older means of doing them. However, the Web has also made preying
on others easier in some ways. Criminals can hack into accounts and create viruses and scams to get
access to people’s confidential information. Many of these criminals are not found, so they continue to
threaten everyone’s safety online. The World Wide Web is a great tool for publishing and receiving
knowledge, but when posting information, one must always be mindful of the risks.
