WHAT IS INTERNET?
For me,Internet is now a society.Billions of people in this world use internet.Internet is very Important for me and also for my friends,my relatives,workers, and a lot more people.The Internet is really important because it will help us to make our tasks easier and it will make our lives better.Internet is part of my life.I use the Internet everyday to have a conversation with my friends and to know what are the things that are happening in the world.This Blog will show you the benefits that I got from the Internet and the disadvantages of the Internet.

ADVANTAGES:
Today,Internet is accessible to a lot of people including workers and students like me.Internet is always available for 24 Hours,7 days a week,365 days a year which is a huge benefit to all of us especially to students and workers.I think without Internet it would be difficult for us to contact others and it will be also hard for us to find the answers for our questions or the information we need for our assignments,projects,research and such.Speaking about contact,One of the Internet's Biggest Advantage is that it would be easy for us to contact our relatives,friends,co-workers through the emails,video conferencing,chatrooms and more such as Skype,Messenger,Viber,Yahoo,G-mail and more.I find this as huge benefit for me and my mother because she works in abroad which is far from where I live and through these software we can have a long conversation.The Internet also has a vast range of information.This helps me to find the answers that I needed in my assignments,projects,research for school.Internet has thousands of search engines and by simply typing your question in the search bar and hitting the enter key you'll find some information.Through Internet, you can also have an access to other cultures and if you're interested to some countries' culture this will enable you to get some insights to their culture. Also,through social medias, this will help a lot of people including me to be always up-to-date.Many social networking sites like Facebook,Twitter and more.This helps me to. know what's happening in my country or what are the things that my friends are up to. Another advantage is that you can easily shop using Internet.There's a lot of Online Shopping sites in our country such as lazada.com, olx.com, zalora.com and many

more. According to the site www.bizh2o.com,there are 8 Advantages of Online Shopping.1.Easy to find the products 2.Cheaper Products 3.Save  Time  4.Freedom of Choice 5.Freedom of Price 6.Privacy 7.Rare product  8.Buyer protection.These are the Advantages of Online Shopping.

These are all the benefits or advantages that I got from the Internet.Nothing's perfect though,Internet also has a lot of Disadvantages.What are the Disadvantages of the Internet?

DISADVANTAGES:
Since the Internet is almost accessible for all the people in this world,then it is not the safest place for everyone. Cyber-bullying is one of the disadvantages of the internet. In my opinion, cyber-bullying is the worst among all the bullying. Everyone can be a victim of cyber-bullying because almost everyone is using the Internet. According to www.stopbullying.gov, cyber-bullying is bullying that takes place using electronic technology. Electronic technology includes devices and equipment such as cell phones, computers, and tablets as well as communication tools including social media sites, text messages, chat, and websites.
Another disadvantage is 'Spam'.Internet is such a great invention but not the safest. If you're doing online shopping ensure that you know the identity, location, and contact details of the retailer because you might get spammed and your money might not get back. Another disadvantage is the negative effects on your family communication. Internet is addicting and i was once an Internet addict and this was a negative effect to have a conversation with my Family. I was spending hours in the Internet because of Social Medias,Online Games and a lot more.This was my problem back then,I spend a lot more time in the Internet than spending my time with my family I don't go to church every Sunday. I don't do my assignments and I would rather spend my time in the internet than to eat my Dinner. Another disadvantage is the biased Information.No one owns the Internet and there is nothing to stop people in posting their opinions and points of view on web pages, forums, and blogs. Many people believe what they read in the internet but apparently not all of them is true. People including me need to be careful on what they saw in the Internet.These disadvantages remind us that we should be always careful in the internet and we must always remember to think before you click.
