How the Internet has affected Modern Lifestyles

Many years ago no one could ever imagine that such a thing as the Internet would be invented. Nowadays, life without the Internet seems unimaginable. In my opinion, every invention has its time, and the Internet is the greatest invention of our time.

To begin with, the Internet provides huge amounts of information. Everyone can find all types of information with millions of topics. Also, people are able to find information on every subject they take interest in. However, accesses to so much information can sometime be dangerous. For example, one disadvantage is that children may get exposed to information that isn’t appropriate for their age.

Secondly, people are using the Internet for communication. Today, we can initiate real-time communication with someone who is half way across the world. People can participate in social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram etc. These sites can help people keep in touch with their friends in distant places, or better yet, make new ones. Nevertheless, this way of communication can sometimes be ineffectual. Because Face-to-face conversations are better. Furthermore, a disadvantage is wasting a lot of time on the Internet. We can start surfing, and then realize far more time has passed than you realized.

Last but not least, the inventions of the internet could not be possible without earlier inventions and discoveries. First it was the discovery of the fire, then the invention of the wheel. Later it was electricity then the telegraph then the computer. With all these inventions, it slowly led to the invention of the Internet.

Consequently, there are tons of great inventions, every one of them is important. The internet, even with its flaws, is the most important inventions of (our) modern time.
