ILAC's Assigments: Discuss the Impact of the Internet in the society (for and against composition)


The Impact of the Internet in the Society

The Internet can be considered one of the most important developments in the telecommunication’s field in the last 20 years. It has produced such a big change in our life that it can be seen as a revolutionary development. While many people have adopted the Internet as an essential part of their life, others believe it is not a good thing for the society. So, there are for and against regarding the use of internet.

On the one hand, people who are against the Internet argue that this means of communication produces isolation and loneliness. Because of the internet, you can work form your home, you do not need to go to the office every day and therefore, you loose personal contact and relationships with your office mates or partners. Since sadness, depression and suicide have become a serious problem in many cities; the isolation that the internet produces can be very dangerous, they believe.

On the other hand, many people think that the Internet is not generating isolation. In contrast, the Internet has established a “new pattern of socialization” and it not only helps us to keep in touch with your family and friends, but also it allows us to develop new relationships. For example, if you are travelling all around the world, the internet gives you the chance to get in touch with your family and friends at anytime. The e mail, the chat rooms, the online messages software’s and the web cams make your communication easier and faster. In addition to this, if you are looking for new friends or new partners to exchange information or share interests, the Internet gives you a lot of resources to find out what you are looking for. The blogs, the online communities and the research tools such as “Google maps” are excellent means to link people with the same profile and interests.

In conclusion, the Internet has changed our life in many different ways, but it is hardly believed that it makes us more loneliness and isolated. On the contrary, the more people have access to the Internet, the more communicate we are.
