    PROS AND CONS OF INTERNET ON SOCIETY

    What Are the Pros of the Internet?


    1. Communication happens globally and in real time.

    2. We get more stuff done in less time.

    3. Information is available like never before.

    4. You can become active about anything you are passionate


    about.

    5. People can connect with one another more often.

    6. Digital payments increase the speed of transactions.

    7. Freelancing is easier than ever before thanks to the internet.

    What Are the Cons of the Internet?


    1. It has decreased personal privacy.
    The amount of personal information being shared on the internet is so
    enormous that personal privacy is at risk. It’s not just identity theft that is an
    issue. Kim Kardashian West had jewelry stolen from her in Paris because
    of the amount of information that was being shared. A group of 17 people
    got together, tracked her movements, and struck because of the
    information freely shared. If you share vacation photos in real time, then
    you’re announcing to the world that you’re away from home.

    2. The internet can become an addiction.


    Internet addiction is an impulse control disorder. It can cause some people
    to develop an emotional attachment to online friends, activities, or idea
    exchanges. This addiction can be so great that people become
    preoccupied with the internet, risking their jobs in real life and significant
    personal relationships for the chance to connect with others online.

    3. Internet dependence can lessen productivity.


    If your business operations are based on internet access, then what
    happens if the ISP goes down? In March 2017, one key piece of equipment
    owned by Comcast caused a complete internet and cellular outage on
    Whidbey Island, Washington. For more than 4 hours, there were no data
    connections of any type. Without that access, an online business suddenly
    can’t do business.
    4. There are multiple expenses not often considered with the internet.
    If you want to connect to the internet, you need some sort of device to do
    so. That means a computer, a smartphone, or a tablet is required. If you
    want a website, then you’ll have domain registration and web hosting fees
    to pay. There are ISP fees, taxes, and data use charges that need to be
    paid. Time Magazine reported in 2015 that the average cost of a
    broadband connection in the United States was $50 per month. Even basic
    dial-up services can be $10 per month.

    5. Exploitation is a very real problem.


    Our laws have not caught up with our levels of connection with the internet.
    Ransomware is a growing threat, where hackers gain control of specific
    files and refuse to release them without paying a ransom and . This means
    exploitation can happen in a wide variety of ways and victims may have no
    way to counter such conduct.

    The pros and cons of the internet show us


    that connectivity is either good or bad
    depending on how it is used. By taking
    protective actions, we can work together to
    limit negative outcomes. That means we must
    encourage our laws to evolve as our use of
    the internet continues to grow.
