It is evident that the Internet has changed our entire system, even if it’s the education sector, business sector, agriculture sector, or healthcare sector. Not only is this Internet also a critical device that changes our social life again.
We use it to do everything in our lives like ordering food, purchasing insurance, banking, doing homework, and so on. Do not forget that crispy news on the entertainment websites and the binge-watching on Netflix, Amazon, or Hotstar. It is a single thing accessible to everyone, and if considered, it is a type of power in a common man’s hands.
The Internet’s impact is so significant that if a person does not have any access to it for a day, they feel bored and useless. Because of the Internet’s excess use, don’t people know what to do if they have to spend an hour without it, let alone an hour. It has become a drug for the youngsters in our society, and thus we are becoming addicted to it.
Negative Effects of Internet on Human Life:-
Crimes:-
Everything has it is own positive and negative, so does the Internet. If used correctly, it is a blessing, and if used wrong, it could harm anyone. As the use of the Internet has grown a lot, cybercrimes are also increasing.
Cybercrimes are getting more common. We can hear from one person that someone’s photo was leaked due to some emotional reasons such as jealousy, hatred, or revenge. The trend of hacking is increasing either in your house camera or bank account, or your social network account. Nothing is safe without a virus protector or a VPN on the Internet.
Lack of Social Life:-
Another significant impact on the life of teenagers is they are getting less social and are spending more time on streaming websites and social media websites like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Netflix, etc. websites on the Internet. These types of websites are very famous. Most of the population of world is spending their time on them.
Millennial and Generation Z are the key users of these websites. The cost of spending a tremendous amount of time on these websites is that people are spending more time online instead of spending more time off-line with actual human beings. And people are getting more socially awkward.
Health:-
Less Exercise:-
The Internet has adverse effects on our social lives, but there are negative effects of the Internet on our health also. As people are putting more time on the Internet, they decrease the time for exercise and care less about their health.
Binge-Watching:-
The effect of binge-watching on streaming websites Netflix or Amazon, or Hotstar Disney plus, has a harmful, and destructive impact on our eyes. These days wither it be kids, youngsters or adults; all of us are constantly watching these series. Kids and youngsters are the ones ending up with glasses at an early age.
And from personal experience, I can tell that these websites are so addicting that we cannot leave until we have watched the full series and the thirst for more never goes away.
(With so many things on the Internet we are becoming its addict apparently with no rehab insight.)
Positive Aspects of Internet on Human Life
Latest news
But the Internet is also not that bad. It is the source of knowing what is happening around the globe; it tells us the latest fashion trends, news, global changes, recent discoveries, trending memes or videos, etc. Internet is the means of bringing our world in a single device.
It is also an acceptable means of bringing two people from different countries, different social backgrounds, and people with other religions.
Shopping:-
Not only this, the Internet has made shopping so easy with so many websites on the Internet. We are left with so many different choices to choose from, which was not possible in the traditional retail market.
Now we can buy everything or anything on the internet ‘you name it, and they have it’ whether its clothes, food, furniture, and other websites are accessible with just a tap of our fingers.
Entertainment Websites
It brought entertainment to us 24/7. Now we can read or listen to or see entertaining things from entertainment websites (believe me, the content on these websites never stops).
Usually, we had to rely on TV, magazines, and newspapers to hear about any entertainment. But with the help of the Internet it is not possible to read any entertainment or trending news at any time with so many entertainment websites on the Internet.
A Communication Tool:-
The Internet is the reason that has transformed the means of communication. Now, anyone from anywhere around the globe can contact another person through call, video call, chat, or email, and both the person does not have to be the same in the country or place. They can be anywhere in the world.
Now applications like WhatsApp and Facebook are the most used form of the Internet, and these sites are accepted by everyone also be it elder or younger.
Other Fields:-
The Internet is used everywhere, whether at home, government, office, or in public places. Almost every work is not done on the Internet or through the Internet. The people who did not use the Internet for personal work purposes have also started using it after COVID-19.
The health sector is also adapting to the Internet. They are also health checkups, medicines, and doctor appointments through the Internet.
The Internet is changing our lives altogether. And we are not left with any other options other than accepting it. After, corona virus pandemic, each and every single thing is being done on the Internet or through the Internet. Companies that did not convert all of their work entirely on the Internet faced a backlash during the pandemic, and this alone tells us the importance of the Internet and websites.
Now, it is an essential part of our society or our lives. In the future, it will become a part of ourselves that we cannot be apart from even for a single second.
