    Without a doubt, internet has made an enourmous controbution to the humanity, and opened up endless opportunities, but everything has its bad side... what do u think is the worst thing internet did?

    in my opinion, it is the absolutely uncontrollable promotion of violence,that u can find in enourmous amount of sites and i do not reffer only to the adult orriented pages (i dont wanna sound like an old maiden, but there should be a human limit to what some people publish). the other thing is the terrible popularity of fake companies, such as hosting, commerce and others, that in reality do not even exsist, but mislead the naive custumers and surfers by wringing their money or Credit card numbers.

    The worst bit about the internet are viruses. I dont really mind the porn, but viruses suck.

    I think the worst thing comes down to alienation, coming as it does from a double-edged sword. You and I speak, when, coming from two different countries (I am assuming), we may never have had the chance; but we speak only vicariously, only "virtually." We sit in our pods and communicate via the web, when we could be out walking, communicating in person, picking up the host of cues that allow truly human contact.

    I also believe the web encourages the strain in modern society towards the sensual rush - the need for more sensory input, more quickly delivered. When I look at today's world, I have asked this question for many years now - where are we going? And, aimless, why are we running so fast?

    the lack of control. People can far too easily access material that can and will harm them

    There are a lot of bad things to choose from. But honestly, I think the worst thing, because it affects everyone who uses the internet, is the damage to your health that you get from sitting down in front of a computer for long periods. It basically encourages a sedentary lifestyle, and what is more it encourages addiction to that lifestyle.

    I mean, in a lot of ways the internet is designed to keep you coming back for more. More news, more chat, more information or just distractions and jokes. Not to mention the online games, and things like Second Life. You could spend hours in front of your computer, or sitting down with a laptop, and whilst your mind is active most of your muscles are not getting any exercise at all.

    Instead of saying what I don't like, I'll say what I do like about the internet:

    The ability to make a living off of it
    Forums and communities
    Interested new websites
    Awesome facts
    Funny pranks
    etc.

    Amen to that, trojans, worms, adwares, malwares, keyloggers and other unnecessary files that can destroy your pc in a matter of days or seconds.

    Majority of that files can be found in P2Ps, porn sites, serial or cracks site, and some black hat sites
