Disadvantages of Internet

The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. It is a network of networks that consists of millions of private, public, academic, business, and government networks of local to global scope that are linked by a broad array of electronic and optical networking technologies. The Internet carries a vast array of information resources and services, most notably the inter-linked hypertext documents of the World Wide Web (WWW) and the infrastructure to support electronic mail.

Most traditional communications media, such as telephone and television services, are reshaped or redefined using the technologies of the Internet, giving rise to services such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and IPTV. Newspaper publishing has been reshaped into Web sites, blogging, and web feeds. The Internet has enabled or accelerated the creation of new forms of human interactions through instant messaging, Internet forums, and social networking sites.



As we all know, internet provides us with a lot of information for us from all over the world. For example, we can get the latest news about what is happening around the world and it's updated. So we won't be left out from what is happening around us. Therefore, internet news are more faster than other social media. Besides that, media such as facebook or twitter can also provide us the latest news on what is happening. For example, if we have any latest news to share with everyone, we can post it at our wall so that anyone that is interested can see it.



On the other hand, internet not only has it's advantages, it also has disadvantages that will make other people misunderstand about an issue. For example, like what is happening around us now, as we know we can get the latest news from internet sites but there are a few people who like to vandalize it by creating own story to satisfy the readers. For example, there is a person who creates national news at websites and there people who really believes it. This is because there no protection on websites where it can blocks unknown writers from posting any unwanted news at the websites.

In conclusion, i do not often believe what is on the Internet as truth without thinking much about it because I had experience it for the first time where i receive news from my friends at facebook where they wrote there will be a earthquake happening in an hour time. So i was really into that news until I believe it that it will really happen in that period time. But after that one hour, I don't feel any effects of earthquake so I asked my friends why there are no earthquakes. Therefore they answered, they got the news from an unknown person but not the official news website. So from that time onwards I realize that I was being cheated by an unknown person. So in the coming time, we must not believe what news that is on the internet unless it is checked properly. If not we will be the victim of misunderstanding.
