The Negative Impacts Of The Internet

Growing up as a child I've always used the internet as a source to chat with my friends and family online, to do my homework, and play games. I’ve been on the internet since I was 10 years old. It’s a reliable source I always go to answer my questions. Our society now relies on the internet to answer all of our questions on a daily basis. In Nicholas Carr article his beliefs are that the internet has changed our society in many ways and it has created a negative effect to our way of thinking. However, the internet has provided a positive interaction to college students knowledge, such as YouTube videos offering tips on how to fix things, learn different languages, and how to solve classroom related problems.

“...between 2005 and 2012, 35% of the couples marrying in the US had met online” (González). The internet is used in many ways such as, communicating, posting status updates, and discovering new information. People most commonly argue the internet to be the source of loneliness and depression, whereas others say that it generates more relationships and friends. Electronic devices, such as mobile phones and laptops are utilized in everyday life, whether it be for work, school, personal matters, and in many other ways. It helps promote interactivity and involvement in a community, where you are not alone.

The internet has been a big deal in everyone's lives lately, but is it really helping us or hurting us?

The Internet is an amazing tool that we all (in the United States) get to freely enjoyed.

The authors Baris, and Tosun (2011) said that Internet has reduced geographical distance and fast communication. For example, people communicate through digital forms of communication such as social network sites, instant messaging and text messages due to time shortage and distance in a capitalist society. The Internet is also a resource for information that allows users to upload, download and publish ideas to large audiences. Additionally, this availability and accessibility to information via the Internet has transformed the world into a global village and with little time consumption, major tasks can be performed through the Internet. This widely spread of the Internet around the globe has created job opportunities and expanded the work circle and revolutionized the way business is done, such as online shopping, Internet banking etc. The Internet has also introduced tremendous flexibility in the education sector. However, this boom in world-wide digital communication is widely accepted and helpful but it has created a sort of “disconnect” and negativity in real life relationships (Baris, and Tosun 2011). For example, people are spending less time with family and friends that caused decrease in social ties, this can be an example on Durkheim who said mainly unmarried males are susceptible to suicide, people with less personal relationships people become more likely to

From my perspective, Nicholas Carr’s argument that the internet appears to be decreasing his capacity for concentration and contemplation does apply to my generation’s internet natives.

My generation, who will be the leaders of the world, are losing their mental capacity because of the frequent use of electronics but especially the World Wide Web. Approximately twenty percent of children from ages eight to sixteen have a computer in their bedroom, and fifty four percent have internet access. Unfortunately, Carr’s argument applies to my generation’s web natives because they are engrossed in the web

Does anyone know who anyone is anymore? Probably the last time someone communicated with each other was through a Playstation 4 playing “Call of Duty” and the gamertag was Hotdog53.

The Internet also called World Wide Web has been defined as a network for the whole globe through which information is shared amongst people who are in different locations of the world, (Kasser, 2004).

The consumers too can use the Internet to help in controlling ethical behavior of business leaders in various ways.
