Advantages And Dis-Advantages Associated With Internet

Internet falls in the category of most useful inventions which have revolutionize the world. Today a man associated with internet cannot imagine to live without internet as it sounds unnatural. All of us are dependent on internet directly or indirectly.

What is internet?

Internet may be defined as
the universal system of computer networks which are interconnected with billions of  devices and one can access this universal network with an internet protocol suite.
This means that all devices and computers are interconnected with each other  via internet. That gives a perfect image of global village in this scientific era.
Internet was basically invented for US military forces to be in contact with each other at the time of war but after some more improvements in the design and structure of this invention, it has now become the most useful and widely used invention of the century which cannot be denied.
Internet is serving us now in almost every field of life and profession. There are many advantages of this invention which I  am going to mention here.

Advantages Of Internet:

As I told that internet is serving us everywhere which is the most important advantage of it. We can easily connect to anyone related to our profession so  we can have quick sharing of information and issues with them. This is the revolution brought by internet. It has made sharing easier than ever. Either it is the sharing of information, knowledge, movies, videos or pictures. Everything seems possible with the use of this invention. It has solved many issues regarding transfer of money too. It is easiest and safest method to transfer money using internet as compared to money order and other methods. Million of people are sending and receiving money using internet thanking to internet..
Another important advantage of internet is in the field of knowledge and science. Getting knowledge has become the easiest thing if someone has access to internet which is the owner of a great reservoir of knowledge. The reservoir whose volume is increases when distributed something from it. A great reservoir of knowledge. Zillion of pages and trillions of E-Books are available on internet for free without any cost to quench the thirst of people who are curious to know something. We can find E-Books and information on every topic of this universe. This has eased and facilitated the art and process of learning. There was a time when a man has to travel million of KM to learn something and to search books in libraries which was a difficult task. Internet has facilitated this task to the luxurious work. This is another matter if we don't use this invention for developmental purposes.

You know that good and evil are parallel to each other so as there are advantages associated with internet, we find some disadvantages too.

Disadvantages Of Internet:

There are no real disadvantages of internet but its disadvantages are basically due to its disadvantageous use which depends on the thoughts of users. Yeah, the disadvantages of internet can only be prevented with its positive use. Its positive use makes it most useful invention and its negative us results in contrast to this. Well how can the internet be used negatively?
The major negative use of internet is hacking. Hacking is something similar to stealing.

Definition Of Hacking:

Hacking may be defined as the seeking or exploiting the weaknesses or loopholes in computer system to access the others' information illegally. With the arouse of negative mindset and curiosity to access others' information, hacking is becoming popular. Hackers are using internet to hack others' accounts illegally so they are


  • Hacking bank accounts and credit cards
  • Hacking social media and Email accounts
  • Hacking the whole system of someone
  • Hacking the secret information on internet
  • Hacking private information of people which can be used for blackmailing etc


This is the worst use of internet and its major disadvantage.
 Another disadvantage is the wastage of time, youth and students are wasting their time using internet unnecessarily. By this their productive skills are reducing. The unnecessary uses of internet are


  • Spending extra time on social media sites
  • Visiting pornographic material without any need
  • Visiting and spending too much on online dating sites
  • Surfing internet for non-productive uses
  • Partaking in political and provoking activities etc


These are some disadvantageous uses of internet but as I told before the internet itself isn't negative or disadvantageous. Its use makes it positive or negative invention so we must use it in positive way to make most of this invention.
