Has the arrival of the internet done more harm than good?

Internet is good

 

It can help distribute information widely. This means that more people can get their hands on news updates in a relatively short span of time. People can stay better informed and be aware of what is happening around the world without having to wait for newspapers and stuff. This is one advantage of the internet.

advantages

Over the past fifteen years, millions of different websites have been set up,
giving people the chance to shop, do business, play, learn and
communicate online. Over the same period it has become much easier,
cheaper and faster to get online in order to do these things.

The advent of the internet has vastly changed the way in which
people search and access information. News travels more quickly than
ever, and current affairs can be discussed all over the world
instantaneously via forums, blogs, and social networks. Many
people also maintain social links on sites such as Facebook, Skype, etc. Research in the UK has shown that the average adult spends around 22 hours 15
minutes online each month. Some believe the Internet is dominating the lives of its users and it is unhealthy, whereas other have
cheered the increased possibilities for research, meeting new people and
keeping in contact with one another.

where as, 

It was invented to do great things and it doesn't harm anyone.

 

There are many different opinions, and this is one. The thing with the Internet is that it does amazing things within seconds, or maybe minutes but not hours. It was invented to do great things and it doesn't harm anyone. This entire world is on the computer, plus the Internet which is a big improvement since the ancient times or the mid 20s !

It's not the harm but the way of use

Take the gun, for example. If you added up all the people who were killed by guns, it wouldn't even come close to the number of people who were killed with rocks and sticks and bare hands before the gun was invented. While it's true that the homicide rate is much lower in nations like Japan and England where gun control is practiced, the higher homicide rate in the U.S. is as much a product of our proclaimed love affair with freedom as it is a product of high rates of gun ownership. At any rate, the science behind the development of the gun--chemistry, ballistics, metallurgy, basic physics--has produced as many strictly beneficial technologies as it has questionable ones.

Overall, we can say it has advantages with least disadvantages also ...... :)
