Hello again readers. Hope you liked my previous blog on feminism and women harassment. If you haven't read it click here to read now. On today's topic for discussion let's talk about "The Internet" and see how it has affected a common mans daily life both good and bad.
As usual let us start with the definition of internet a global computer network providing a variety of information and communication facilities, consisting of interconnected networks using standardized communication protocols, according to google.
So internet is supposed to be a large, unlimited, virtual network open for us to interact with all like minded people out there on the planet. That sounds similar to the idea of Facebook but only with the exception that this is an open space where anyone can interact with any other person without ever revealing their identity. So that is so much more safe from acts of stalking and a lot more privacy to the end user(only if we thought so).
Now let's start discussion on one of the most common and more well known advantages that internet provides us, which is the ability to learn and teach anything, to anybody, from anybody.People can learn anything from cooking to building their own robot over the internet using assistance from
various websites and online tutorials. there have been people who built their own mini choppers using the internet as well. Though this thought sounds really novel and amazing at first, but turns out to be a really dreadful when compared with the reality. Thinking why?? Because it is being used to learn an teach a lot of wrong things that harm lives and cause damage than help in building ones skill. The internet has been used in cases varying from planning of bomb blasts to even killing one self. A lot of terror groups have taken to social media and internet to plan terror attacks, while the internet is also filled with articles that teach anyone on techniques to kill people and even one self. If one doesn't ensure care while using the internet, there are websites and blog pages which convert an ordinary simple living individual into a radical with provoking thoughts to act violently and disturb law and order in their localities/state/countries.
Moving on from that huge advantage of open sharing that the internet brought along with a drawback of safety we will realize that the internet is not such a bad place at all, when we understand that it helps us in making our lives better. We have applications and websites which are available over the internet to plan our day, train our employees, teach our kids and so on. All these applications and websites simply make life easier to the next level. The help that these websites provide along with a lot of tips has helped us in managing ourselves more efficiently and effectively as we result improving our productivity drastically. But just like the previous idea of open sharing of knowledge even this development of websites and tools that help us making our lives better come with a drawback of its own.Guessing what?? Its a threat to leak of your personal information and personal data. Applications and websites which use your details to plan a day for you or improve your efficiency in working by showing places to improvise would have full access to your personal details and your personal schedules. This could only mean a lot more of those marketing e-mails from those big shopping sites which irritate you the most. Personal data privacy has been a major concern lately for the users of the internet as most of the websites take away your data and sell it off to the shopping sites who would be wanting to get in touch with you personally.
If you thought having your personal information could be the worst that could be done to think again, because the biggest threat is that of security breach to hack your computer from an unknown source and use all your confidential data without your permission. There have also been cases of hackers locking computers using the internet and asking ransom money for unlocking the computer. Though the internet is a big ocean where one can learn a lot, one has to be very careful about the drawbacks it has and act upon preventive measures to keep oneself safe from all these evils that have come into the internet.
Everything in this world has two sides to it just like a coin, so does the internet. This blog was an attempt to try and pull out a two different sides of the same coin i.e, the internet. Lets take all the advantage of the internet to socialize, learn and grow while we exercise caution while we use it. Lets all stay safe and make the internet a safer place by spreading this knowledge.
