The internet has forever
changed the world in both positive and negative ways. It enables one to find
information any time of the day as well as provides convenience with regard to
such activities as paying bills. On the other hand, the accessibility of
pornography and false information and the occurrence of pop-ups on the internet
serve as negative effects. The internet has every kind of information that you
could possibly want; there is everything from simple guides to high level
medical research information. Besides research information there is local and
world news information. Young children can also benefit from the internet.
Convenience has also been another benefit of this invention. You can pay your
bills by the click of a button or even buy presents without even leaving the
house. Not everything that has resulted from the internet has been positive.
Some negative things have also come along with it. One of the worst results from
the internet is inappropriate content such as pornography. Another negative
effect of the internet is that false information can also be found, which can
lead to confusion. Frustration from advertising has also increased with the
internet. For many of us it is an indispensable tool for work, education, and
communication. While time spent on the internet can be hugely productive, for
some people compulsive internet use can interfere with daily life, work and
relationships. Many people turn to the internet in order to manage unpleasant
feelings such as stress, loneliness, depression, and anxiety. When you have a
bad day and are looking for a way to escape your problems or to quickly relieve
stress or self-soothe, the internet can be an easily accessible outlet. But
there should be an equilibrium factor while using the internet.
