The Powers of The Internet
Ok, so im really bored now at home. Im going to use this times to come up with what i have felt of the convinence(s) and Danger(s) of the Internet. In My personal Terms.
What is the Internet?
_____________________
"The Internet is the worldwide, publicly accessible network of interconnected computer networks that transmit data by packet switching using the standard Internet Protocol (IP). It is a "network of networks" that consists of millions of smaller domestic, academic, business, and government networks, which together carry various information and services, such as electronic mail, online chat, file transfer, and the interlinked Web pages and other documents of the World Wide Web."
From Wikipedia (im lazy to go sum it up)
So we have seen it, the "pipeline" for us to be connected to others out there in other parts of this sphere we are living in. But what about it is Good and Bad?
The Good Side
_____________
We are easier connected to people living far away, not just the distance of Jurong to Changi, but rather for even people away as far as China, USA or even Antartica.
This is indeed convinence for people who need to settle business with overseas clients, by simply using Video chat, or exchanging of emails. A big business deal can be settled. Or for people whom their love ones are overseas for various purposes. In the past its all about postcard and air mails, now its all in a click of the finger to report safty and misc issues. All thanks to the Internet.
The internet is always a convinent Source for information, you can just hook up a search engine (Google, Msn, Yahoo, Lycos etc etc)and search for what you want. Wikipedia is another source too. Theres also online News agency which provides news, be it localy or overseas, jounre covering finance, politics, local issues, sports. Everything you ever needed is on the internet!
Playing games can never be more fun then challenging other people online, Introduction of MMORPG's(Massive Multi-player Online Role Playing Games), MMOFPS(First Person Shooting), MMORTS(Real Time Stragety) or even some MMOP(Platform) can satisfy anyone's ego in being success and triumph over another person, be it someone known or just another stranger within the same circle of games.
File sharing, 1 of the biggest uses of the internet. You do not have to wait till your document to be delivered by mail, rather just by attaching it on an e-mail, uploading it to a FTP Server, or simply just by directly sending over to another person by different clients(Messengers, IRC, ICQ) and Volua! The things are slowly transfered. without taking the trouble of mailing it and worrying it cant reach the other party in whole pieces or lost of the files.
While we are looking at this, the internet seems safe and sound, aiding us in all its way it can just by moving the mouse, type in some URL, click some buttons. But, theres a Big Hazard towards Internet which is also its reason of being the no 1 killers of different issues.
The Bad Side
____________
1.Illegal File Transfering: Mainly Illegally made copy of Copyrighted Songs, Videos, Movies, Shows, Pictures, Novels or even Magazines. All this are considered illegal when transfering due to the Copyright Laws. Worse case senarios are things including Pornography, private pictures or videos, Personal Deatails which is recodered on the Harddisc of the Computer where its obtained from.
2.Hacking and Backdooring: Breaking into someone's house is illegal, such that breaking into someone's computer is also illegal. Hackers are people which
"A hacker is someone who creates and modifies computer software and computer hardware, including computer programming, administration, and security-related items"
From wikipedia. This shows that they are able to break into other people's PC, without acknowledgement, without trace, did some funny stuff(mainly snooping out data, transfering files from your pc to theirs, load virus into the system or worse, using your pc as a relay point inplace of theirs and starts doing illegal things online). Some times they leave behind nasty 'presents' like trojan horses, virus, ad-ware or spy-ware, either to moninter your computer's data, pop up unnessary things, creating a back door from your pc to theirs for usages of unknown purposes.
3.The "Over Convinence" of the Interner: Imagine, you want food, order it off some site, and its delivered to you. You want to shop, it can be delivered to you. You want some entertainment, you go search for whateva you can use to keep yourself accompany. You want to find your friends, theres messengers or VoIP sofwares to chat with them. You want to "release Pressure", you can go 'prawn' sites to 'release' it. Just imagine, everything you need is online, and you can even get the things set up on your bed, and just having to go off for toilet breaks. This is nice to some people but its wrong, as it will lead to serious problems. Health deteroids, Hygene level drops. Soon you will just becom addicted like a drug addict, unable to move away from the computer at all. This lead to a social problem as if this spreads much, economy will fall(most internet addicts found in China are teens and young adults ard the age of 16 - 19). Or Leads to 'NEET', "Not in Education, Employment and Training" and worse case is the "Hikikomori" Syndrome, ill not go throught too much on this terms, you can easily find it on wiki. But the problem with this is that when you wake up from the addiction, you will reliase that you have actually wasted precious times on doing regretfull things....
Conclusion
__________
Everything has 2 sides, even light has shadow, Man has Woman. No matter what happends, the internet is useful as long as you control the uses of it. Or else you have only yourself to blame in the end.
