The Advantages and Disadvantages of The Internet

The following aspects could best illustrate the advantages of the Internet. Net surfers in different countries can share interesting knowledge and the latest information. Besides, the Internet has provided a major opportunity to buy and sell merchandise and even stocks, reserve a room, or do E-business. What is more, people may get medical help, hunt for a job or even vote on the Internet. And its advantages seem countless.

Behind all this glowing talk, however, are some problems. The Internet makes people passive by stopping them making their own entertainment, so much so that when there is a breakdown or jam, people may find that World Wide Web turns to World Wide Wait. What is worse, some children may have access to the scenes of violence and sex on the Net. Apart from these, it can be affected by viruses and hackers and all kinds of cyber criminals.
