It's sort of like writing in a diary and you can add pictures. Now I can go back and reread it from time to time and bring back the memories. Really handy for me.

The Internet is neither good nor bad per se. It provides a resourse that you can benefit from if you use it wisely.

"The percentage of people who think the internet is good for society is shrinking. Roughly 70 percent of American adults who use the internet believe it’s mostly good for society, down from 76 percent in 2014. That doesn’t mean those people now believe the internet is necessarily bad — it’s just more complex. The portion of people who believe the internet is a “mix of good and bad” for society nearly doubled in that same time, from 8 percent to 14 percent of those interviewed." -Kurt Wagner, Senior Editor, Social Media at Recode  |

I think we all can agree that the Internet has many good sides.
On the bad side of the Internet, we find security issues. But it can also be difficult to verify that a piece of information is accurate. many pransters and saboteurs post fake news dor various reasons, so you need to check well before you trust something 100%. Truist is also important when you share your personal information. Don't do that unless the sites have appropriate levels of security and protection.

The Internet could be an excellent babysitter to keep children quite and happy, but it comes at a cost. They constantly download online games and become addicted. Online activities soon become more important to them than spending time with the parents.  |

The Internet has helped us save valuable time.
Remember when you had to go down to your bank or credit union to deposit a check? Now, you can take a picture of it with your tablet and send it to your bank through an app thanks to the Internet. You can check bank balances in real time. Instead of printing out a manuscript and mailing it, a writer can electronically submit their work via email instantly. The internet lets us be more productive and still gives us more time to spend with our family and friends.

Internet use can become expensive. First, you need a computer, a smartphone or a tablet to get online. 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.

The Internet allows us to access newspapers from all over the globe and many of them are free. You can follow a blog to get helpful ideas from someone who has conquered a challenge you’re currently facing. All it takes to find information is a simple keyword search on a preferred search engine. Even an 8-year-old kid learned how to drive because of YouTube. ronsolo.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/boy-driving1.jpg |

you have to pay if you want to read it! Not only that. The amount of personal information being shared on the internet is so enormous that your personal privacy is at risk. Nut, 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 and you practically invite burglars to pay you a visit. |

People, and especially teenagers, can get a lot of information online about subjects that they feel uncomfortable talking about.

People, and especially teenagers, can get a lot of information online about subjects that they feel uncomfortable talking about. But can the Internet really replace important health personnel, like psychologists and nurses? And how many consults 'Dr Internet' to get a diagnosis from their various symptoms? Real doctors just shake their heads when patients finnaly come to them after having tried the suggested remidies in vain. |
