The Internet! Good or Bad experiences?

August 6, 2012 7:49pm CST
Well, internet is a huge world, where we can read and listen, (even write), do the most unthinkable things. It's filled with global and personal information... But well, some people ruin their lives in internet, by using hack links in internet banking stuff, by the addictive online games...you know... all that bad thing. Personally, the worst thing happen to me was a chargeback and lost some bucks... nothing special. But i wanna know if there's someone who happen really bad or really good things in the world of internet. Yours, Phenixtail.

I will say that this has been a good thing here having the internet, as my children need it for their scool work, plus there are always the things that we all want to look up or look at. I find internet is now better for us all rather than watching a load of rubbish on the tv for the sake of it.

dear I agree, good and bad things come from the internet. People have their entire lives there earning money and trying to make a life. I limit my time on the internet because i love doing "real" things too. I also earn a little bit here and there but i could easily live without the internet. I am not addicted at all.

I think that there are a lot of positive things about the internet. We have access to a huge amount of information and it is fast and easy to communicate with people from the other end of the world. I have found my husband and several close friends on the internet and I use the internet in so many different ways. On the hand there are also negative things about the internet. There are hackers, spammers, scammers, viruses etc and we have to think about the way that we use the internet and we have to project ourselves. Another bad thing about the internet is the risk of internet addictions. Some people spend so much time online that they totally neglect their offline activities and that can lead to tragic consequences sometimes like the case where a couple was so addicted to online games that they forgot to take care of their child.

Good Experience about the internet? It's when I fell in love with someone whom I met online. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I never thought that it will happen. Although, there we're not a couple but our friendship matters. The moment that we had was an eye-opener for me to grow more. One of the good experience about the internet is that it feeds my drama addiction. Before we can only watch movies in the cinema or by renting in the internet but now, we can watch it through the internet. Bad experiences? I have one, it's when I got scammed in an HYIP but it's okay. It's just a learning experience for me.

Hello Friend !! Internet is very good I say sometimes when I get some tasks done easily like online shopping,booking etc and I the same person will curse internet by saying its the worst thing on the planet when it becomes the reason for some of my monetary loss I experience. So you can't exactly judge anything to be good or bad...Everything has its advantages and disadvantages....:) Wish you all the best my friend...Be Happy and Make Happy...:)

Being part of the internet world is a good experience because through this we are able to be part of the world we are not really into to. It helped us gather information about the world and the not part of our world. I am speaking hypothetically. Good day!

True, Internet can be both good and bad. The wealth of information available here has been extremely beneficial for me. When I have a problem in my car I go to Internet to look for it. Now this has turned into a tradition. But yes, bad things have also happened with me here. The most common one among them is virus. This is no fun at all and has often stolen my sleep.

Everything in this world has its own good and bad effects. So do the internet!!! Even I had faced bad and good both. The gift was online earning. I really didn't even know this kind of virtual world can exist which can pay me for my spare time. But the bad effect was I became addicted by online games...and couple of bucks i lost for online bidding.

The internet has been a great thing for me. Fortunately, I am protected in all that I do. The internet is my social life. The internet is my opportunity to earn and be creative. I might be addicted to the internet, when I spend time online, I'm not spending money so it's a great way for me to entertain myself.

The internet is not the only place where you can experience good or bad things, everything has an advantages or disadvantages. Talking about online games or simply computer games is not always considered as a bad thing where you can be addicted and forget the real world, this way is what most of us think but the truth is that, not only for entertainment, you can also earn money in this way or what we call "professional gamers" who makes living while playing their favorite game. Most of us who are looking for online jobs are getting scammed because we are sometimes reckless and didn't have a chance to review this certain site and instead fascinated about their words (like you can earn a lot of money here, invest now, etc.). The only thing happen to me in the internet is that I found some legit ways on how I can earn money without investing and made a website for free.

The internet is both good and bad depending on how we use it. Because of it's vast scope it is nearly impossible to monitor it. Personally, I take my own precautions by not disclosing too much personal information especially when i am unsure of the source of the site. I haven't really had a bad experience except for encountering some people who you thought was just chatting and turns out to be perverts.
