Internet - A boon or bane

 Today Internet has become a daily routine & plays a vital role in everyone's  life. It has been using world wide for daily works which reduces our stress & work time. Everything is found easily in Internet. Now it has became one of the basic need among food, clothing, shelter and Internet. But there are several drawbacks too of misusing Internet. Lets go through the advantages & disadvantages of Internet & check whether using Internet is a boon or bane in our daily life.

 A man needs a fair amount of information to run his life efficiently, and to date the Internet is the most versatile information-provider that man has ever devised. It has search engines that are fast and powerful. Using Internet makes our work easier & faster. Every thing is easily accessible in Internet whether it should be on any topics, news , information, etc. It gives us knowledge & entertain us too. Simply sitting at home we can do infinite stuffs using Internet. We can book the tickets for travels, we can pay all types of bills payment, We can use Internet as a medium to connect with the people through social media. Using Internet we can sit on one place & do video chat to the other person who is sitting on the other side of the world from our family, friends, relatives etc. (e.g if they’re in Asia, than we’re in North America) The Internet provides the ability of emails. Free mail service to anyone in the country. Things such as Yahoo Answers and other sites where kids can have readily available help for homework.It also become a motivation for students in sharing their work online with the world.Even we can do shopping by sitting at home. I don't think there will be any other equipments for shopping better than this. There are many advantages which cannot be defined here because it will take 2-3 pages more.

As there are infinite advantages of Internet, there are several drawbacks too as I mentioned earlier. Time which we consider major part of our life is the major disadvantage in misusing Internet. It is very easy to waste a lot of time on the Internet by doing surfing, playing games, by searching, reading & viewing bad things. Especially teenagers are considered to waste there time by looking Pornography sites. Apart from this hackers can create viruses that can get into your personal computer and ruin valuable data also they can use the Internet for identity theft. There are a lot of unscrupulous businesses that have sprung up on the Internet to take advantage of people. There is a lot of wrong information on the Internet. Anyone can post anything, and much of it is garbage. There are parents who complain that the Internet has swept their children off their feet, so much so that they do not seem to be interested in anything else. They ignore their studies, parents, social responsibilities and even ignore their health by not playing enough outdoor and indoor games. In other words, the Internet can act like an addictive drug. Sitting on Internet  for hours is not a healthy practice for both physical and mental health, it creates eye redness, burning sensation in eye, etc. People use Internet so much that they even watch the cricket match in office using live streaming sites. Some avail leave to watch cricket matches which affects the office works at the same time of our country. So these are the drawbacks which we have to take care about.

But there are few disadvantages that can be stopped by us. Internet service providers should blacklists the Porn sites. Parent's should have a focus on there children when they are using Internet. In Schools there must be at least one lecture in a week about the advantages or disadvantages of the Internet. By following such topics there are the chances that the students stops misusing of Internet. If not totally but a little will be effective.

According to me no doubt Internet is a boon for us and it is the man who has made Internet a curse for him.  It is a device of education that gives us knowledge, pleasure, entertain us, can hear and see images, inspiring videos, Can see the world by this. The only things matter is we should learn good, new & advantageous things from Internet. Inventions like the Internet, which can be such an unmitigated blessing to us, also lends itself to terms like ‘bane’ and ‘curse’! 

But that is how the world goes, I suppose!
