    The internet is by far one of the most important inventions yet. We use it every day everywhere all day. If it wasn't for the internet, then half the world would be jobless and the military would be useless. I believe the internet has brought more good than bad to the world.

    The worst thing about the interent is that there is too much false information. There are way to many people that waste time to use the interent for bad. There is just too much useless information.

    What do you guys think?

    The biggest advantage of the internet is that it puts the individual on a much more equal footing (in getting out information) than we have ever been in the past.

    This, however, is also a major disadvantage, as everybody who has read YouTube comments can attest.

    Biggest advantage for me is the ability to communicate with friends and family all over the world, while also working.

    Biggest disadvantage is the always hated spam. >_<

    80% of the internet were found to be adult related says a survey conducted in the year 2005 in U.S.... Well is that good? Even the survey been conducted in the year 2005, i think it would have developed more rather than declining... and i'm sure about that...

    The worsteb part is that many iduiots can pass as great persons over the internet
    And if tyou stay to much online you end up a looser in real life ...

    Well there are more earning opportunities on the internet and that's one of the major advantages for me. The downside is that it cuts major time I spend with my TV :D

    The Earning Oppertunites are at the all time high for online businesses. Almost every major company has a website for sales and information. It is pretty unique how the world could run off the internet.

    Spamming is a huge deal on the internet. It really is ruining the internet.

    I think that we are going to all resort to the interent around the world. It will come down to everyone having the interent and everything will be done online or digitally. Money wont be current and payments will be made online.

    Advantages: You can find ANYTHING you want online.
    Disadvantages: I would have to agree with the virus' - I never know why people would want to give random people a virus?

    It is a double edged weapon. If you have the knack, you can have your work done and if not, it will hurt you ;)

    Everything in this world has both plus and minus.... and it is on our view and character to look at which one and use it.. Internet Pluses_ I couldn't say it in words, we can learn anything from our home, without moving an inch.... then we can earn, study, play, share, discuss etc.. etc... etc... in Internet. World is shrunken due to Internet... I won't see minuses :).. as i am Positive approacher and viewer...

    rajesh,

    I could see a few negatives due to the internet. I think that some people get so glued to the interent with jobs, games and other things that we forget how beautiful life really is. We need social life to keep our feelings positive. We need our body to be healthy out in the nature with fresh air. I think that everything you stated about the positives are correct and are amazing. But with all good things, there comes bad things.

    I completely agree that the advent of Internet surely has made people very inactive... physically!

    Internet has definitely made networking between people from various parts of the world very easy and instant but the mentioned drawback is a huge negative as well! :eek:

    So all in all, the interent brings more good than it does bad. I believe that the future is going to be all about the internet. Payments will be a big deal virtualy. But that would result in everyone having to get dsl or what not.
