Advantages of the Modern Internet

1) Communication is easier

2)Speeds up work

3) Quicker access to information

The modern internet has changed our lives in numerous ways. Our life was not nearly has easy before, and with the modern internet communication has become much easier. Before the internet, to communicate with someone you would have to call them on the phone. With the introduction to the Internet, we have the ability to send and receive messages through e-mail. Another advantage is quicker access to information. You can easily look information up on a search engine that is much quicker than looking for information in a book. One last advantage is the quickness of work life. You can use easily use a internet based web cam site instead of having to use a conference call.

Disadvantages of the Modern Internet

1) Negative effects on family communication

2) Internet addiction

3) Lack of conflict resolution

The modern internet is great, but there are many disadvantages that are related to the modern internet. An article stated that the time spent on the Internet was associated with later declines in house family communication and a decrease in the number of friends and acquaintances with which the addicted person kept ties with. Internet addiction is a real issue today. I have seen multiple times in the news where people would stay up for days using the Internet, and it had negative effects on the body. Sometimes even resulting in death. Another issue is that communication on the web is taking away from the necessary human conflict. If someone gets angry on the Internet, it is very easy just to sign off and not deal with the problems in an appropriate manner.
