Ten years ago, the Internet was practically unheard of by most people. Today, the Internet is one of the most powerful tools throughout the world. The Internet is a collection of various services and resources.
Almost all households contain the Internet; however, before people connect to the Internet, they need to be aware of its disadvantages and advantages.
Many fear the Internet because of its disadvantages. They claim to not use the Internet because they are afraid of the possible consequences or are simply not interested. Today’s technological society must realize, it is up to them to protect themselves on the Internet.
Children using the Internet have become a big concern. Most parents do not realize the dangers involved when their children log onto the Internet. When children are online, they can easily be lured into something dangerous. When children talk to others online, they do not realize they could actually be talking to a harmful person. As a result, there have been many cases where children have been convinced to meet people they have talked with online. In fact, stories seem to come out every week: a child or teenager lured into something foolish, dangerous, or even deadly on line. But there are a number of tools available today that may help keep the Internet environment safer for children.
Musicians are also concerned with disadvantages to the Net such as, accessibility and freedom. They are upset because the Internet provides their music online at no charge to consumers. A file-sharing service, such as Napster, provides copyrighted songs to all Internet users. The main concern is - the music is free! Musicians feel that they are not getting paid for their work.
Another major disadvantage of the Internet is privacy. People should become aware that the collection, selling, or sharing of the information they provide online increases the chances that their information will fall into the wrong hands. Consequently, they will become a victim of identity theft, one of the worst privacy violations with potentially devastating financial consequences. Today, not only are humans getting viruses, but computers are also. Computers are mainly getting these viruses from the Internet; yet, viruses may also be transmitted through floppy disks. However, people should mainly be concerned about receiving viruses from the Internet. Some of these dangerous viruses destroy the computer’s entire hard drive, meaning that the user can no longer access the computer.
Despite all of the terrible disadvantages of the Internet, there are numerous advantages.In fact, the advantages out weigh the disadvantages. The most common thing the Internet is used for is research. Children and students are among the top people who use the Internet for research. Today, it is almost required that students use the Internet for research. The Internet has become one of the biggest sources for research. Almost everyday, research on medical issues becomes easier to locate. Web sites have become available for people to research diseases and talk to doctors online at sites.
Entertainment is another popular reason why many people surf the Internet. Downloading games, going into chat rooms or just surfing the Web are some of the uses people have discovered. There are numerous games that may be downloaded from the Internet at no charge. Another popular thing to do on the Internet is to check out the news. Almost all local news can be obtained through the Internet. Up to date sports scores are probably the most popular looked at news. Sports scores are updated on the Internet as soon as the game ends. Shopping online has also become a huge success and is considered a great advantage of the Internet. No matter what people are shopping for, it can be found on the Internet. People do not even have to leave their homes.
In conclusion, Today’s society is in the middle of a technological boom. People can either choose to take advantage of this era, or simply let it pass them by. The Internet is a very powerful tool. It has many advantages; however, people need to be extremely aware of the disadvantages as well.

网络的利是随处可见的,如:加快信息查询,便捷现代通讯,缩小世界范围等,二十一世纪是e时代,未来的社会一定是网络的社会。
网络的弊端,严格说是人的弊端,有些人正是利用了网络的“利”来进行网络上的欺诈犯罪、不良信息传播等,这是网络弊端的体现之一。另外,有些人用网不健康,沉迷于网络游戏,尤其是青少年,过多的把时间浪费在网络中,对身心都造成了伤害,这是网络弊端的体现.
应该说网络本身并没有错,错的是利用网络的人。这就象刀,最初的产生一定是为了解决生活中的一些问题,但有人却利用刀锋利的这一特性来杀人,而刀本身并没有错。
