Internet Education Advantage And
Disadvantage
The
advent
of
internet
made
the
world
very
smaller.
Anyone
from
anywhere
can
make
business
deals
with
people
far
from
their
place,
without having to
travel such a long distance. Wherever the dear
ones or
friends
are,
they
can
always
be
closer
to
you
giving
you
the
regular
updates.
This
is
all
possible
only
through
the
Internet.
Thanks
to
the
great
advancement
of
technology,
one
can
now
feel
the
world
a
lot
closer.
However
this
technology
was
not
something
that
developed
overnight. It developed through a slow
process and reached this
stage.
Initially internet was created to
enable communication through a
central
mainframe.
The
communications
was
limited
to
specific
network
stations.
Then
the
internet
operations
turned
in
connecting
multiple
networks.
Then
came
a
number
of
private
internet
service
providers.
This
expanded
the
scope
of
internet
widely.
Today
people
send
emails,
talk
to
others,
send
images,
videos and also
gather information through internet. The use of
internet is being increasing rapidly
everyday and life seems to be
difficult
without
it.
This
makes
it
necessary
to
have
internet
education in
schools.
However
there
are
disadvantages
of
it
too.
Here
are
a
few
advantages and
disadvantages of internet education.
Advantages:
Internet
is
now
one
of
the
major
means
of
communicating
to
different people. One can send an email
to person anywhere in
the
world
which
reaches
the
person
in
just
a
few
seconds.
This
quick
delivery
of
mails
has
been
extremely
useful
in
expanding
businesses.
One
can
receive
quicker
response
without
wasting
time.
This
increases
the
efficiency
in
work.
Emails
also
help
in
communicating
with
different
suppliers,
buyers
and
sellers
all
around
the
world.
Internet
has
also
helped
in
maintaining
personal
relationships
too.
Chat
rooms,
video
conferencing,
etc
help
people
communicate
no
matter
where
they
are
located
geographically. The use of intranet in
organizations has helped in
quicker
sharing of information, solving the queries etc.
Moreover
getting used to internet
doesn
’
t need any extra
qualification or
course. It is simple
and easy to use.
With internet, there
is more access to the information. There are
several
search
engines
where
one
can
search
for
the
required
information. Also, a number of websites
provide information on
various
subjects
and
hence
one
can
gain
huge
knowledge
through
internet.
There
are
various
forums
and
blogs
where
different
people
can
discuss
about
different
things.
This
allows
sharing
of
information
and
knowledge
which
is
very
important
for
the
development
of
the
society.
Traditional
means
of
gathering
information
requires
visiting
libraries,
searching
for
books and going through those books.
But internet has made all
that
very
easier.
One
can
look
out
for
any
information
and
can
collect vast information
from different sources. Many schools and
colleges are adopting internet
technology for communicating to
students. They assign projects or work
through internet and also
track
their
progress
online.
Education
is
making
use
of
advantages of
technological developments.
Another
major advantage of internet is in entertainment
industry.
People now can sit at their
homes, download a movie and watch it.
It is no more necessary to go to cinema
halls or theatres to watch
a movie.
There are many websites from where one can
download
their favorite movies. In the
same way, even music can be legally
downloaded. There is no limit to
entertainment over internet. One
can
play online games with another player no matter
where they
live. One can also share
photos, videos, files etc online. Internet is
also
a
great
means
of
connecting
people
with
different
background and culture. Internet has
also been a great place to
find life
partners too.
