I feel the internet has really changed the world and honestly I'm not writing this to convince you of otherwise. The internet has affected the world both positively and negatively. Lets talk some positives first.
There are many ways the internet has affected our lives positively. I would say that alot of things we take for granted really are all due to the internet. Remember back in the day when it took a long time to start up the internet on things like AOL? If you're like me its a distant memory. It used to take like several minutes just to connect. This was before people had wifi.
Things like checking your email or browsing your favorite sites are all possible due the internet. Also the internet is used in everyday things like TVs and Phones; items that really had no internet connectivity not too long ago. These things keep us up to date and connected with our ever changing world.
The internet can also be used negatively. I feel like we are so used to this aspect of the internet we have become desensitized to it. People use the internet to troll others and also to spy on others. People use the internet to steal also. There's lots of hackers and people that pray on the innocent. There's not a whole lot of ways to truly stop these villainous intenet hobbies. A good way to stop an annoying or threatening individual is to block them....but sometimes you may even have to report them to the authorities.
I suppose a final aspect to the internet is PRIVACY. Governemnt agencies have to be able to violate our privacy to keep us safe. So i guess its kind of a give or take thing. I feel that this is a neccessary compromise to make in this dangerous ever conncected society.
