Is internet boon or curse

Answer 1

With the evolution of the internet, the life of a normal man in the towns changed from just a mere worker from a social person, an artificial social person, sometimes a natural social person. Internet changed many things, I am sure I need not speak much about it. But a special innovation which it brought about was the social networking.

Basically social networking means a way in which one can keep himself connected to his near and dear ones in some way or the other. In the language of Internet, it is the same thing, but it is a similar thing conducted in a different way. Here, it is entirely a different thing. The natural social networking involves media like letter, mails, telegrams, phone calls, but today it includes media like SMSs, e-mails, scraps and what not, there are so many terms. I wanted to take this topic into consideration and after a long time, finally I got into a mood to discuss my thoughts with you all. So, I would discuss about the social networking related to Internet in the upcoming words.

The Windward Side of It

Social Networking, today, has made the life of the Richie riches easier. Those who have nice smart phones in their hands, can easily surf themselves right away.

However, the medium classes can also enjoy this. People can today keep themselves connected to their near and dear ones all the times. They can easily correspond with them anytime they want to do. With offline messages like scraps and offline chat messages they can easily leave a message to their near and dear ones, asking about their welfare or having an informal chat of any type, anytime.

Social networking has enabled us today to climb the mountains of connectivity so easily and you know, the best part of it? Most of the online services like chatting, emailing etc are totally free, so even the middle and the low classes can enjoy the services. It is therefore a big merit of this feature that cutting on the expenditure of ISD call rates, we can easily connect to the people of our beats easily, in case they are living in some other country. With the Internet social networking, one can easily present him/her before everyone. What does one need to do? Simply take a stand, spend some 3000-4000 bucks, create your own website, design it, put contents and finally you are done.

In short, it therefore means that one can stay connected even while sleeping, and today to my surprise, marriages are being conducted with the help of the so called matrimony websites which help us find the guys of our taste and finally we can select the bridegroom or the bride, chat to him/her, have a meet with him/her and finally, the "Just Married" signboard will be on the back of the car. Thus, today, to my surprise, internet socialnetworking is helping people get married even. What not we can do? We can show our videos and songs.

These were all the merits of social networking, these were simply the pros, not let's have a look towards the cones.

The Leeward Side of It

Today so many people, especially the old aged people say that the new generation has become so lazy because of social networking feature. Many even say that these so called social networking media are simply making the people of the present generation unsocial by doing all these.

It is notable that due to this feature of the internet, we are making friends with so many people whom we never see in our lives but we spend hours chatting with them without knowing who they actually are. Children of teenage who need to go to the fields and play with their real friends are busy with unidentified people on the net chatting with them, emailing with them, talking about their welfare and having a behavior in such a way that they are even more to them than their real friends. Yeah of course, some may come to a realistic end, but most of them really never meet. Children are becoming lazy talking to these people, maintaining their so called social status and just filling their life with dramatized follow ups. What are they doing? Students go to cyber cafes, spend hundreds of rupees and what they do? They simply keep on writing scraps to their so called distant friends. It really deviates the newbie minds from their actual courses, hitting at their health, hitting at their actual socialism.

There are many leeward aspects, but what I want to question is that is this social networking grasping feature of the internet so social at all. Does it have more merits or more demerits. Anyways, my suggestion to the teenagers especially would be have a consideration on the so called social networked nature of theirs'.

INTERNET - BOON OR CURSE

Internet has entered lives of millions of people and effectively transforming their complex tasks into simpler ones. Earlier doing research involves several tiring library trips. But, with the advent of internet it seems like a cool breeze. Similarly, before the arrival of internet communicating your distant living loved ones was a tedious as well as expensive task. But, emails have made things easier and affordable at the same time.

In earlier times, military intelligence used to hold the services of internet. But no one can easily explore the entire cyberspace with computer attached with modem and a telephone connection. Internet has made the world a smaller place to live. Moreover, those who are successful during this internet boom have also made quite good money.

Internet is undoubtedly offering a whole lot of advantages but there are negatives too. Personal communication is being affected the most. Another serious issue which is growing adversely with internet is pornography. A recently conducted survey has revealed that approximately 30% of websites carry sex based stuff which is a serious threat for our future generations. It really needs some immediate step and look out for the appropriate remedy.

In order to keep check on such sites censorship software is also available in the market, such as Net nanny, Surf Watch etc. But, unfortunately government is not taking the issue of pornography on internet seriously and it is affecting the young minds adversely. They are becoming addicted about it and are also getting distracted from their studies. Thus, it is a serious matter and needs to be considered effectively.

On the other hand, internet is also playing key role in the constantly growing economy as innumerable internet based companies are evolving and giving business as well as employment. Although, internet offers some mind boggling benefits, still its negatives are unavoidable and needs to be considered instantaneously

Answer 4

Social networking is a online platform to join the people located globally to make them meet at one place to share, chat, earn and do many other things which may not be possible virtually. However, it is still a point of controversy to decide that social networking, a boon or bane.

Social networking - a bane

Having many advantages, it too bagged the mis-credit for the cons that rose from this social evil. However, people who are not cautious have suffered a lot and are taken advantage of physical, emotional, financial factors. The reasons for which social networking is called bane are:

• Increased the interaction with strangers that often lead to dating and relationship failures.
• Isolated the people to be online and addicted to its "social" tag which hypes the youth.
• Financial frauds are a common scenario that has been revealed.
