On August sixth 1991, the world wide web had become available to the public. When the internet was first public there was little to nothing one could do with it. Since then, the internet has flourished into one of the biggest roles in society. It is something that is prevalent in everyday life whether it is for work, school, vacation planning, shopping, online dating, etc.. It is hard to imagine a world without the internet especially if one has grown up with it. As impactful it has been some say that the internet is detrimental to today's people and society, but there is only little truth to that. In reality the internet helps people, and has more advantages than disadvantages contrary to the popular belief that they hinder the person. The internet actually helps promote creativity, and overall health. Although, some argue that seeing the same things over and over again on the internet could actually kill creativity. However, seeing everything gives inspiration although it is a bit derivative it is also in a lot of ways going to be original. According to Chamorro an author from the guardian, “because of the internet people are more creative and says that “there has been an explosion of creative activity in the technology space: there are over three million apps, and three hundred hours of YouTube videos are uploaded every minute” (Chamorro). Millions of videos, millions of hard work, effort, and creativity. Almost every creative atmosphere requires the internet. Life

At a glance, the internet is one of the best invention ever made by mankind. One of the most important concept the internet had given to us is the power to convert ourselves from a consumer to a participation. In other words, the internet actually gave us a chance to express our opinions, whereas we can only consume when it comes to traditional television. Believe it or not, the internet saves us a huge amount of time in our everyday life. Since the internet is packed with useful informations and with just some simple clicks, students can do their homework or research on anything in the comfort of their room. Compare to the 1950s, whereas if you were to do a research on a certain subject, skimming through thick books in the library was
The internet itself now plays an important role in our everyday lives, and has revolutionised both society and education. Following the invention of electronic computers in the 1950’s, the main format of the internet (that we still use today) was invented in 1978, before going global in the 1980’s. Primarily, the invention of the internet is important, due to how it revolutionised technology, and in such a short amount of time. Thanks to the internet mobile phones, laptops, and developed social media have all been invented, following the global demand during the 1980’s. As well as this, the invention of the internet has benefitted society due to the new technology that has sped up general tasks around the home, the spread of news and political topics, and the time used for revision, particularly with students. Just like the Civil Rights movement, without the internet, our modern society would be very
The article "The Internet: A Clear and Present Danger?" written by Cathleen Cleaver is a clear claim of the necessity of government regulation to control what is being shown on the Internet. To support her claim, Cleaver gives the pornographic web sites as an example. She argues that the regulations used to control the selling of pornography applied to porn stores, magazines, and television should also be applied to the Internet. The reason for such necessity is that it is impossible to control who is actually accessing such web sites. Following this reason, Cleaver's main claim in the article is that children can access pornographic web sites on the Internet. This claim is clearly stated by
Recently, society has become consumed by the internet and technology. It has become a daily ritual that affects our social and academic lives. The issue has been whether or not the internet has a positive or negative impact on people. Some may say the internet positively affects how we can express ourselves artistically and intellectually. However, internet in technology diminishes our ability to think by causing distractions.
Today, the Internet is the center of attention for businesses, governments, schools and individuals around the world. It has produced new industries, transformed existing ones, and has become a global cultural experience not only for adults but for children as well. It is a learning tool used to educate in schools and within our homes. The surfacing of the Internet as another means of electronic communication has had a transformative influence on social interaction.
The internet is possibly the greatest invention ever made. It has changed the way we communicate, how businesses operate, and how communities function. It has led to many inventions that have made life more comfortable and simple. It is easy to see how quickly the internet has changed our physical wellbeing, but it is difficult to recognize how it has slowly been changing our mental wellbeing.
“As the internet becomes increasingly intertwined within our daily lifestyles, we must ask, what are the consequences of our increased dependence? Is the internet affecting our intelligence as a collective society?”-Brent Weyes. The internet can also change us physically which is now affecting our personal life and academically. Such as using our phone in class, work, and etc instead of focusing. The internet has many effect in our lives, one of the effect that is commonly in our society is car accident. Today car accident is commonly known in our society because we used the internet when we are
Although the internet has only been around for twenty years, it has become very hard to imagine a life without it. We are constantly using it in our everyday life. At school, work, and home. We use it to “be foraging in the Web’s info-thickets reading and writing emails, scanning headlines and blog posts, watching videos and listening to podcasts, or just tripping from link to link to link.” (Carr, 3). It has become such a big part of our everyday life that not being able to connect with it feels like living in the desert. Not just that but it has taught us how to do things in different ways, such as studying.
The internet is the newest mass media and has the potential to change human society. It has given us the ability to access almost all of human knowledge in an instant. It has also allowed the constant connection between friends and family. As technologies go it may well be the most influential in human history. The internet is one of the most impactful technologies in human history as presented in The Shallows by Nicholas Carr, specifically because of its speed, interconnectivity, and its impacts on the human mind.
Without a shadow of a doubt, the Internet is an astonishing environment that has captivated us through its use of imagery, sounds and words. These things have enveloped us into a world of information that ameliorates people's comprehension of things that they have never thought about before. Furthermore, communication has been another product of the internet: people are now able to connect with one another from all over the globe, allowing individuals to gain a more critical understanding of the multifariousness of cultures. Other benefits might include speedy information dissemination, saving of time, business opportunities, entertainment and more. Even though these factors may corroborate the internet as a good thing, it has several deleterious effects as well.
Imagine that you're on the computer just like every other day. All of a sudden your computer starts popping ads on your screen and it keeps popping and popping. You don't realize what has just happened until you remember that you clicked on an ad which led to a weird website but you just clicked off of it so you didn't think much about it.
The internet is one of humankind’s greatest achievements. It is the library of all the world’s public information. It allows artists and creators to have their work appreciated globally. It connects people from all around the world, giving us, the people, a sense of unity. And it is in grave danger. American ISP (Internet Service Provider) companies are taking advantage of our corrupt senators and legislators to repeal our net neutrality laws. Net neutrality is the principle that internet providers like Comcast and Verizon should not control what we see and do online. Opponents of net neutrality say that it makes it harder on consumers, but their logic is flawed. We must fight for net neutrality in the United States because it gives us access to all the web’s content, enforces equal access for all users internet, and protects our freedom of speech.
The Internet has dramatically changed our lives over the past few decades. Through Internet technology innovation and development, the Internet provides a lot of benefits to people's life; doing business online, shopping online, playing video games and so on. With social media, people can see what is happening all over the world, searching information, resources they need, communicating with friends or family oversea. Nowadays, Internet is closely related to people’s daily life; people can barely live without it. However, there are some disagreement as to whether the overall effect of this technology has been positive or negative. For instance, with the popularity of video games, lots of teenagers are addicted into the virtual world. People spend most of their fragmented time on their phones, computers. People should understand that spending time on Internet for their daily studying and working are useful and helpful because of its fast pace and powerful searching engine. Besides that, Internet isn’t that important in our daily life, because online activities cannot replace the real life.
The Internet is truly a creative product of modern society that helps our lives to become easier. However, practically, as other tools the Internet also has negative impacts on people, especially teenagers who are addicted to the Internet.
