If there is one thing that we can all agree on, it is that the Internet is an amazing thing. It has changed the way we live. But is it all good?
Yes we can use it as a great tool for research, communication, entertainment and so on, but there is still a risk to all of this. The information that we read, may not be correct, credible or trustworthy. Particular internet sites that you click on may be a virus, which can affect your whole computer system. Hackers are becoming a serious issue as more and more people are getting ripped off.
BUT the good outweighs the bad when it comes to the internet. You can do almost anything, so the risk is definitely worth it.
Online journalism is vastly growing with even more people turning to the internet for news instead of the TV or newspaper.
Take the Olympics for example; when I’m not watching the sports at home, I am constantly checking my phone, computer and Ipad for updates and stories of the latest wins, losses and all the drama that comes with it.
Social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter are very popular when it comes to spreading the word. So if a major news story breaks, there is no doubt that the whole world would know about it in minutes.
That is just the power of the Internet!
