The Internet – Connecting People to the World

There’s no doubt about it, one of the biggest breakthroughs in the world of science and technology was the introduction of the Internet. With the Internet, you are able to connect with other people even to those who are a million miles away from you in real time. The Internet enables everyone to know about the latest in fashion, current events, politics, music, etc. Not only that, you can now transact with other businesses or other people in just a few clicks. You’ll never be left out if you have access to it.

These might be the main reasons why some people are now using the Internet and its popularity for their own sinister business or interest. Now, the Internet has become an effective venue for people who would want to take advantage of other’s weakness. Scams are all over the net. There are certain websites blatantly showing pornography. Some sites express hate towards the government, an organization, a company or a specific person. Of course, everybody is entitled to freedom of expression, however, if exercising this right is gently becoming destructive and unhealthy, then maybe it’s high time to reflect and contemplate. People have rights, but everyone must respect other people’s rights, too. Remember that you should always take responsibility for all of your actions.

You have to be vigilant in helping those in authority to protect the Internet from being invaded by individuals, companies, or people who use the Internet for their own selfish interests. The Internet has undoubtedly made lives easier and more convenient. Therefore, it is the responsibility of each and every person to take care of this helpful tool.
