The Internet is so useful, you can do so much on it if you think about it; you can "shop online, do business, file applications, budgeting, check book balancing, etc. The rapis speed of the Internet also draws people in, the luxury of not having to travel to the library and with a click of a button have exactly what you are looking for without looking through pages and pages of books." (Goessl 2002-2010)

All of this is very convienient, but with all this comes drawbacks; "security or crimes such as identity theft, hacking or embezzlement. One of the main drawbacks is whether or not society has become too dependent on the Internet. If the Internet was permanently severed people would not know how to take care of some of their necessities. " (Goessel 2002-2010)

The computer does all of these things for us and really if you think about it makes us lazy. Like Goessel says what happened if something happened to the Internet alot of business would have to hire alot more people to do work that the computer usually would of done, everything would have have to be done by hand for the most part.

I obviously am using the Internet right now to blog and I can admit I dont know what I would do without the Internet, but all im saying is we cant forget traditional ways of doing things.


This article by Goessel is called "Effect of the computers and Internet on society" just in case you wanted to read more in depth on this.
