Internet: Good or Bad?

           There are so many different opinions about whether or not the Internet is good for people in today’s always changing society. Many people now days say the Internet is the most amazing invention, and that it’s helped improve and advance our world. But then there are also the ones who think the internet has single handedly ruined our society, by making it to easy to access information and technology that we would have had to seek out ourselves, therefore causing people to become more lazy in their quest for knowledge. The main argument about the Internet today, is whether or not we should be as engrossed in it, or should we find other sources to be reliant upon.

            Personally, I feel that the Internet is an amazing tool that has helped propel our world into a new generation of curiosity and exploration. The society in which we live today is very dependent on the web and the sources it provides. The Internet not only allows us to find information quickly, but also allows for our world to become more together through technology. There are many social networking sites that can only be accessed through the Internet, and with these sites we are able to talk, see, and connect with anyone, almost anywhere in the world. I also feel that the Internet has provided aid into our failing economy. The Internet provides jobs to millions of people world wide, and is a major contributor to the stock market, so it has definitely helped keep our world afloat in these hard economic times.  So to me I feel that the Internet is the best invention in years, because it has helped our world grow and expand in so many ways.

            On the other hand though, people will say the Internet has completely taken away from the intimacy between human communications, and that it has caused our world to become lazy in the quest for knowledge. People seem to think that because we have the web available to us in just a matter of seconds, that we have become lazy and less independent in our research. The Internet can also be seen as an escape goat in some circumstances. For example, social networking sites provide hours of pointless entertainment, to people whom without the invention of the Internet, would be engaging in human contact.

            It seems to be a big deal to our society to see whether or not the Internet is good or bad for our usage. But to me I feel its just a matter of opinion.
