Internet has change our lives in so many ways. We can keep in touch with friends and acquaintances around the world and we can even meet new friends.We can gain access to any library or public data base, find a job or even look for a date. It also opened up the world of on-line buying and on-line studying. No matter how busy we are we can study through the comfort of our room as well we can shop. But, sometimes there are also some disadvantage it limits us to meet lots of people directly for we are just shopping in our house as well as studying only in our house.

The internet has changed our lives in so many different ways and a lot of things that were impossible in the past are possible today. We can study online, we can find new friends or partners online, we can share pictures online, we can do our shopping online, we can find all sorts of information online etc. All of those things weren't possible in the past when there was no internet and I think that the new possibilities are really great, but the of course there are also some disadvantages about the internet like the internet addiction, internet crimes and a lack of face-to-face communication.

That's really true porcospino through internet we're able to find friends, partner and become educated. Yet, despite its advantages it also brought some disadvantages specially if the person using it will not use it moderately or in a good way. Though we can see our loved one in the net but its really different to touch them.

The internet is amazing but some time I wish people would do more outside activities , like when I was a child . I love the way everything is at our finger tip . To Study online would be excellent but how accredited is their degree ? Do you have any idea because it would be nice !
Those are the disadvantage , we don't really get real human contact anymore . I will only shop online if what I want I cannot get in my area /country .

There are a lot of advantages of having the internet in our life or being connected with but sad to say that despite it's great help there are still disadvantages like what you've mentioned. I don't exactly know how to solve this matter but I guess if having a direct contact with person ( I mean a man to man teaching) where in you can see your teacher and you can meet other people then we can have an option of that. What you've mentioned is really true.

Hi benthelSophia,
Yes beth this is true that now days internet make life very easy, now we can do all things from home even can pay other bills like electricity, mobile and other. now internet banking make it more easier.
Now internet banking and online shopping make life in home so now we got lazy to go out for shopping and this is dark part of this that now we have less communicate with other people face to face.

Yes people do shopping without leaving their house.They just use an Internet access,a computer and their card information to make a payment.It is kind of difficulty to imagine that a few years ago people had to spend their time in lines buying tickets.Now,a person can choose a destination,company,date and time and get tickets delivered to his door.It is just amazing.It has made our lives easier.Here I think with the invention of computers people became more closer and friendlier.

Another major disadvantage of the internet is exposure to strange behaviors that might lead one into developing bad habits. Some cultural exchange programs being fueled by the internet are basically the source of the moral deterioration we are currently seeing in most countries.

Internet has really changed the world. Especially with online business. Everything is available in the internet. Every thing that we can see on the mall and outside are available in the internet. Thus internet made our life more convenient and easier. But it also lessened are physical activeness. Instead of walking into a fastfood chain, we would opt to order online and have it delivered. Convenient, but has lots of effects on our daily life.

I love shopping online, mainly because I can find things much cheaper online than in the stores, at least for what I like to buy.

Hi,
Its an information superhighway, but like early superhighways, highwaymen do abound. I am always wary of scams, mostly ways and means to rob us out of money and resources. I really can't tell if the one I'm drooling on is real or fake behind those multicolored LCD screen.
Its like looking at shadows and never being able to see the reality unless one exert great extra efforts to verify their credibility.
Weeks ago, it seem like a long time, I ordered and paid something on one of the online shopping stores and I haven't received the item yet. Being used to going home with the merchandise from a store just downtown, the waiting is way too long for me.

Definitely internet has changed our lifestyle very much. Now we get everything in front of our computer screen. We can chat and video conference with our dearer ones even though we are far away from the. Another great advantage of internet is shopping. We can buy anything from our home itself .
