Internet: Good or Bad?

The Internet can influence us in many different ways. The Internet can be more harm than good, or vice-versa. You should always be mindful of what you do on the Internet, because something that may seem good could really be harmful. If you're visiting sites that are guaranteed to be protected, it is more good than bad. The Internet should be a source of positive information.

The Internet is a great source of information. The good things you can find out on the Internet are tools you can use in life, like search engines, databases and statistical information. You can also stay in contact with your friends and family with social networking sites like Facebook.

But these resources aren't always good. Social networking sites can be gathering spots for bullies and predators. On the computer, your files could be getting hacked right now if you visited an unprotected site, or if you're on a site and you click on a pop-up link, which will take you off the protected page. This too could allow someone to hack into your files. So you should pay careful attention.

Should you be scared to use the Internet? No, if you are not doing anything illegal, visiting unfamiliar sites or going to unprotected ones. When you go on the Internet, just go on the sites you are used to. Also go on what you came for to stay safe and do not to wander off onto spammed sites. Also take precautions to avoid phishing schemes.

So is the Internet more good than bad or more bad than good?

It is more good than bad because the Internet is used for positive and informative sources. The Internet is the best way to find information about the things you want and need, and is a safe environment as long as you're aware and informed. Always pay attention and if you don't know a site, just stay off of it.
