    Is the internet good or bad? There is currently a lot of debate surrounding the topic of the internet. On one hand, many people feel that the internet is having a negative impact on our society. Their reasons include topics such as cyber safety or more specifically; pornographic sites, piracy, fraud and other nasty stuff. Many of these people feel that the use of the internet should be highly restricted in order to ensure the safety of the general public. Others argue that how and why the public uses the internet should be left up to the individual in question to decide.

    Research is the most common way that the internet is used and it has become one of the biggest sources for research. Students from all different grades of schooling are among the top people who are using the internet for research. In fact, nowadays, it is almost required that students use the Internet for school research. The Internet is so commonly used for research because of its limitless information. It is amazing how much information one has right at their fingertips. On the flip side, the accessibility to so much information can have disadvantages. Students using the Internet can easily be lured into dangerous activities such as pornography. Whether surfing the web, reading newsgroups or using e-mail youth are at risk of being exposed to extremely inappropriate material.

    Another way the internet is being used is through online business (e-commerce and e-banking) transactions. One example of e-business is online shopping. This makes life easy for the individual as he or she does not have to leave and can pretty much purchase what ever they want right from their own home. Online shopping has also brought many companies a lot of money as millions of dollars are spent every year by consumers who are shopping online. For financial institutions it has made the transfer of money easier, convenient, faster and safer. The negative effect of online transactions and business activities is that the information attached to these transactions can fall into the hands of the wrong people. Issues of theft and privacy are important to consider when thinking about doing any type of online activity that requests personal information. This is one of the privacy violations that can take place and it definitely has many potentially devastating financial consequences.

    Is the internet evil or good?

    The Bad
    Easy access to pornography (children seem to be able to find it easier than the adults).
    Viruses and malicious software that affect our home and business computers.
    SPAM - Need I say more on this subject?
    Deceptive marketing and scams.
    Online stalking of ourselves and our children.

    The Good
    Access to museums and libraries all across the world.
    Instant access to the latest news and events.
    Instant access to friends, family and business associates through email, instant messaging, video conferencing, etc.
    Shop from home without leaving your chair.
    Consumer information on products you are thinking of buying.
    Entertainment - music, movies, books, radio, etc.
    Trivial knowledge.
