The Rise of the Internet
The rise of the Internet is definitely one of the most quintessential aspects of the technological and informational progress. I’m sitting here, in front of my laptop right now and I can’t even imagine how people managed to live without a computer and the Internet few decades ago.. Nowadays there are so many opinions on how harmful and how useful the Internet is, what transformations took place lately in the use of the Internet, how much time the regular person spends surfing the Internet and is it really worth doing or is it just a waste of time?..
It’s really interesting to follow the history of the Internet boom. Apparently, there is no such a science or human activity that was not influenced by the rise of the Internet. However, the most important thing about the Internet is that it dramatically changed the human race in general. It would be interesting to investigate what effects the Internet has on our minds and our behavior.
The most important Internet inventions that, to my mind, have the greatest influence on us are:
Social Network
Internet Marketing
Computer Games
New products like software, malware, spyware, etc.
Internet Crimes.
It’s also a good idea to characterize the impact of the Internet on several groups of people subdivided by different principles (age, social status, gender, etc.) By this I mean such groups as children – teens – adults – elderly people; men – women; employed – unemployed, and others.
I’d also describe both – positive and negative- effects of the rise of the Internet separately and I’d ended up with the conclusion stating which effects dominate – positive or negative.
