In today’s world, the internet has become essential to all people. Many technologies have changed our lives in many ways, among them the internet is one of them. It has helped us in many aspects such as communication, creating jobs, getting information, etc.
The internet has made this world a village where it has been easy to communicate with others from any part of the world. People from different parts of the world can communicate easily through social media such as Facebook, Instagram, emails, Twitter, Snapchat, etc. The Internet has also made it easy for people to receive information and news from all around the world. It has also helped in creating many jobs such as creating job sites, youtube is also one of the main job sources on the internet.
We can also take an example of the current(COVID-19) pandemic. It has destroyed many jobs, shut down schools and colleges. But still because of the internet people are working from home, schools and colleges are teaching the students from home through apps such as zoom, google classroom, Microsoft teams, etc. It has also helped the people to get information about the virus and its consequences with precautions.
As everything has its merits and demerits, likewise the internet also has its drawbacks such as our personal information can be exposed to the whole world without us even knowing our location and our bank account pin code, credit card pin code, etc. Cybercrime is also the main problem with this technology. Many problems such as harassment and bullying are the main problem of this technology.
So, the internet is helpful to us in many ways and also can cause us to harm in many ways. But, I find the internet very helpful in today’s life as it has been the leading technology that makes our life easier.
