Advertisements for the internet promise you a world of information, entertainment,on-line shopping and e-mail services. But the real world of the intrnet may not be as perfect as the advertisements suggest.
Using the intrnet offers many advantages. For example, all of the latest information is available to you, in your home, at any hour of the day or night, it is much faster and easier to surf the net in search of information from all over the world than to travel to libraries in dozens of countries. firstly, on-line shopping makes it possible to search through catalogues to find exactly what you want at the best price, saving both time and money. By joining a newsgroup or char group, you can share your hobbies and special interests, and perhaps make friends all over the world. Also, e-mail is popular because it is faster than sending a letter and cheaper than telephone conversation.
On the other hand, the internet has several disadvantages. However, with so much information available, finding what you want can take you hours. Multimedia web pages with photographs, music and video are attractive, finally they make downloading slow and boring. What is more, there is too much advertising instead of real information. As for internet friendships, sitting at home in fornt of a computer making ‘chat friends’ is not the same as actually meeting people.
In conclusion, the internet obviously has both good and bad points fortunately, the system is improving all the time, and any problems which still exist can be solved. Whether we like it or no, the internet is here to stay, so we have to make the best possible use of it.
