The Internet has been around for my entire life; it’s used for every thing. My generation heavily relies on it. In grad school they teach you how to properly use it. In middle school you have to complete projects using the Internet. With books available on the Internet, the use of a library has become obsolete. There are definite advantages and disadvantages to the Internet. It can be used for socializing, home businesses, sharing knowledge and entertainment. People now use e-mail to send their messages quickly and efficiently; snail mail is now hardly ever used except for when mailing large parcels. One of the top ways to get a job in our modern society is on the Internet. People can become too dependant on the Internet. Using it to create a second life or impersonate some one else, which can lead to loss of reality and identity theft. With the development of so many social networks now available to youths everywhere, there is no stopping the invasion of cyber bullying in peoples lives.
