The Internet
Progress is the idea that the world becomes
increasingly better. And therefore the internet is linked to the notion of
progress.
The internet is a system of interconnected
computer networks. It has been created in the early 70’s
but the Internet has just had an impact on societies since the mid 90’s. Nowadays the internet serves
several billion users worldwide.
As
I said the internet has change a lot of things around the world and particularly
lives of loves of people. On the one hand, it has made things going more easily
and faster, For example when stock exchanges make trade, when two persons who
live away from each other want to communicate, when something happen people
immediately knows them thanks to the news on the internet, when somebody wants
to know something. It a great tool for knowledge, for distraction, a great means of communication and trade. So the internet leads society to the progress.
But
it has a seamy side that touches lots of people around the round. The internet has made some people hooked on technological devices,
especially teenagers. So these people are more disconnected from the real
world. For example, the number social networks are so high that it forces
people to only live through them. We studied a comic strip on which a young
couple only live and communicate through the internet. The drawer underlines
the paradox between the web connection and the word disconnection.
People
cannot do everything on the internet like you cannot exercise, actually meet
people, eat, wash…
There are
also dangerous people on the internet. Children are easy preys and easy potential victims when it comes to meeting
people online. Virtual relationship can be altogether different from reality.
All
data circulating on the net are not reliable all the time:
there are extremist websites, viruses, hackers, spam, criminal networks,
etc…
Even though there are a
virtual police on the web, personal information may be disclosed by someone and
it may harm the person, especially as the net has a memory of elephant. Indeed
everything is saved on the internet.
To conclude the internet is a new device which seems
to have very positive side but since several years people discovered a seamy
side that should force people to pay more attention when using
the internet.
