The good, The bad and The Internet

Pros and Cons

The invention of the world wide web opened the door to an almost limitless abyss of information. That alone gives way to good and bad potential, it all depends on who is using it and what their intentions are... Using a knife as an example... This object is productive, convenient and effective, Until it is used improperly then it can be harmful, dangerous and  has the ability to cause great pain.

 My point is... 

The knife has potential for possibilities that are only met by those whom wield it. 

Moving on I have gathered a list of things that can help to broaden your prospective of the Internets abundant wealth of information.

Pros:       

• Connections... It allows for people, companies and organizations to connect with each other for a multitude of purposes.
• Informative... It allows people to find information they wouldn't usually have access to. 
• Makes a lot of things easier... people find access to tickets, jobs, housing and even help plus so much more...
• Social situations... It helps us meet people from other cultures and backgrounds that we would normally not have a chance to communicate with...
• Emotional/health aspects... It can help people that are embarrassed or shy to seek answers and support

Cons:

• Connections... It allows unwanted access to people... i.e. stalkers, con artists and predators
• Informative...  It gives people access to misleading information, information they don't need or want... even information they shouldn't have i.e. Child pornography
• Makes things a lot easier... People have become lazier... not needing to go anywhere to retrieve things they need or want... i.e. shopping, movies, music, socializing etc.  
•  Social situations... It opens the door for the new form of bullying, i.e. trolling and cyber bullying... 
•  Emotional/health aspects... People can be unnecessarily alarmed especially those susceptible to fits of hypochondria  

 This list goes on and on. Every thing has the potential to be misused, that is why I don't think the internet should be accessed by young children with out extreme supervision.
