Internet its uses and misuses

Internet its uses and misusesThese days when technology is increasing a new type of it was introduced in 1995. It was called Internet which gained popularity in 1998 when it was introduced in India. My family is amongst the very few families in Meerut in 1999. At that time it was very expensive especially in Meerut where we had to connect it on STD. Now with broadband coming into existence its costs have gone down a lot.These days internet is being used by many people in their daily life to quite a great extent. It is used for booking purposes of flights and Railway tickets. It has become an important mean of communication through e-mailing which has decreased the use of normal post as it is less expensive and can deliver any letter or important document just with a click of the mouse and in a few seconds anywhere in the world. Chatting is a means in which we can send instant messages to our near and dear ones. Internet telephoning is almost free and we can all to people all around the globe at that very little cost. It can only be done if a mike is added to the computer. If we attach a Web camera to our PC it will enable us to do visual telephoning in which we can see the live picture of the person on other end as well as talk to him/her at the same time. It helps us to make new relationships and make existing relationships even deeper. This technology has enabled visual classroom which uses the technology of Visual telephoning and helps the students to interact with their teachers even if they are sitting thousands of kilometers away in another country.Apart from being a good means of communication internet is a big database of knowledge and has many encyclopedias which are indeed very useful to children for their projects etc rather than going to a library and wasting so much time, money and energy. There are many sites which tell us about new advancements and help professionals like doctors in their day to day activities. Internet also enables us to download new soft wares which result in the better functioning of our computer. We can buy gadgets without going to a retail store, just with the click of a mouse. We can give our credit card no. and the gadgets will be delivered to our house as soon as possible. Although it is dangerous but proves very useful at times. We can various information about any place and can book hotels etc. We can also know many things about certain universities, school and colleges and can sometimes download important forms of many government proceegers and other subjects just with the click of a mouse. It is a good pastime andwe can play many games. We can use the internet to download new songs in MP3 format free of cost. Internet is a boon and is used by many people to share their ideas and help them to broaden our outlook. It can be used for numerous other purposes also.Internet is a technology and as every technology has a good side and a bad side. Internet also has a pretty side as well. These days as terrorism is increasing, Internet has helped them a lot. Some developed have arrangements to trap the e-mails but to avoid this terrorists have started sending messages in audio and video files which till now have not been able to trap. Secondly if the children are exposed to internet at small ages they will learn things which should not be known to them until a certain age. If children or someone else get exposed to internet too much they can get obese and with the lack of exercise they could have various diseases in the long run. Too much of playing games or other unneccary work on the net can make them loose their concentration in Studies.Internet has more uses than disadvantage and we can download soft wares available o the internet which help us to lock certain sites which we do not want anyone to see. These days’ scientists are trying to take out a way in which they can keep a track of the audio and video files which are being exchanged. If checked that if children do not overuse it or misuse it than it can prove really useful. So, I firmly believe that as technology is increasing internet will become more useful and everyone should have access to the internet in the near future.
