Now a days increased internet use causing many problems. Doesn't it Yes , i will definitely agree that internet is useful in many ways. But it has its own disadvantages too. Due to the crime details and other harmful information that is present in internet. , few of the people are using the technology in wrong way. even the adult websites are disgusting. Many people are addicted to them. what wrong. was the internet or the people. Whom should we blame?

see bro everything in this world has tow shades one the bad and the other good. The nature is like that. for example knife we can use it carefully to cut vegetables and make food. it can also be used to kill some one on the other extreme. there is an equal and effective chances of misusing everything in this world. so we cant just blame one for the things that do happen. same applies for internet too.

Internet is created by people. Like using other things, there are many different kinds of people. There are certain kinds of people that use internet for worthless activites, criminal activities, and anything else. On the other hands, there are also people who make use of internet as things useful for them.
It's how people use, abuse, and manipulate internet. It's not really so much about putting blame. Everything can be blamed on people, but it's complicated.

Can't place blame on an inanimate object. It's people's fault. The internet isn't really causing problems. Yes there may be "harmful information" on the net, but it isn't just teaching criminals how to do horrible things or something; that information can also be accessed by law enforcement and other groups trying to do good. Even Facebook has helped catch criminals, if only the dumbest ones, who post their plans on the net. Yes some people are "using the technology in the wrong way.", but that is the decisions of those people doing those things. The internet doesn't sit there and think "Oh how can I cause problems?" Trying to blame the internet, or any other object or invention, for one's actions is trying to avoid responsibility.

I say point the finger of blame at ourselves. The computer was invented as a great way to store data and to further communications, just as the printed word was started to pass along info.
It takes a person, like you or me, to corrupt the usage into something vulgar and vile. So no matter who we point to for the blame, three fingers and a thumb point right back at the accuser.

I think we had to blame ourself because we had freedom to choose and its our obligation to choose the positive one for our self. Every thing has positive and negative effect in this world so its up to us to decide. I think we should control the technology and not the opposite.

Blame people. They know what the are doing is wrong, yet they continue to do so. They are the problem, not in the information source.

I think that for most people, they are capable of making their own choices. SOme people are easily addicted to things, though, so that's kind of a hard thing to say about everybody. But for most people, it's their own responsibility to manage their time.

Greetings!
For me its not the internet to be blame but the human rather. Human has thoughts, human thinks, human has a conscious, and human are the one who also created the internet. Internet aren't conscious. It doesn't think. Its not aware so its shouldn't be blamed. We, the humans must use this internet wisely and not to bring disadvantages to other people. Internet is just a medium that's why other make crimes but still, it is the human who does the act. With or without internet, people can still make crimes. Anyway, we should use internet wisely for our good because it is created for the convenience, communication, knowledge and many more. :)

I don't think it is honest or fair to blame new technologies for the way we behave. We make the choice as people on how we behave or react to any given situation. We have to place the blame on ourselves and take responsibility for our own actions.

I think that all are depends to us ourselves. Internet is just a technology which is made by people, too. we need it in all aspect of life. But when people use it beyond a proper control, then it is not fair to blame the internet. That's my simple opinion... hope we can share... thanks and best wishes,

Hi dear,
It is not the in the case of internet. Whatever here are having the nature of the same. Food is good and having more of it will make decease, like that listen to music it good but which higher volumes, walking is good, walk too much is painful, sleeping is good but more sleep is harmful. So, anything its required limit is find and above that make issues.
Internet is very useful and only because of this utility, we spend more time. The crazy people never fed up with internet use and it really make people mad and some are using 17-18 hrs. a day with internet and computer uses. It was a time with TVs and games, then turned to mobile phones. Both are still high in demand. But internet is totally a different aspect and once people indulged with internet and we sites, no food, no TV, not mobiles and no other life in front of him.
It is really a kind of addiction and this stage will continue for a long period of time till he get fed up with it and something else replace with. It is difficult because man are so categorized with internet as per people taste. Once an interested thing is getting into a need person, he will be satisfied with it and this power has with internet that is why many are using internet but the sites they are using would be different as per their taste.
Regards,
Thank-s

I think it is people that we should blame because people are the ones who makes decisions and the internet doesn't.
