The internet ( rawda Ibrahim)

In the early 1980s through the late 1990s the " digital moment" was just started and the world showed the rise of networks. As a students using the internet ,i found that the internet is heavily involved in developing different aspects such as education, communicating with people and business ...etc.         personally i use the internet most of my time. It is a mean of educating and spending my free time in downloading movies and songs, chatting with friends and reading on line books. 
The are many advantages of the internet. People can learn through the internet. They can do academic research and it is easier for people to find relevant books and read books they wouldn't find any other way such as those that are out of print. Yet, the internet is one of the good ways to make friends all over the world. I my self have a friends from different countries and i interact with them through my face book account. On the other hand the internet can be a double-edged sword. Downloading movies and songs illegally from the internet is one of the disadvantages. Moreover, some informations in the internet are based on lies and they are against the academic research. Some kids and teenagers use the internet to play video games but some of those games teach them violence. 
The internet can be useful and harmful according to the users and how they use it.
