The internet is defenatley one of the biggest and most revolutionary inventions of the 21st century. It caused such a major 180 degrees change in our way of life in such a short period. When I come to think of it, the interenet is so powerful and tempting that there is this slightest chance that it might become dangerous one day. The internet sure has its advantages that make it probably the most popular occupation in the world but it also has its downsides.

The internet is the leader of the revolution of information. Nowadays, I can go online, visit Wikipedia or make a small search in google and find tons of information about any subject I'd like.

This ability is one we must appreciate and be thankful to posses it and the internet is the leading and probably the main factor that led to it. Another advatage is connectivity. Today, I have the ability to talk to anyone in this world no matter where he is at and I have a wide variety of ways of doing that; From e-mail, facebook and twitter to MSN, Yahoo and Forums.

Having said only a handful of its advatanges, I'd like to realate to its disadvantages. I believe that the same way the internet can serve you in communications and information, the interenet is also a great way for major intelligence agencies or even small police departments to track you down and learn everything about you from your private conversations with friends through MSN and ICQ to more public ones like Facebook and Twitter. When it comes down to privacy, you will have to take into consideration that you will have none with the internet on-line.

Finally, the bottom line would be that the internet is, beyong any doubt, one of the most life changing revolutions that have ever occured in recent years. It brings with it magnificent tools that make our lives easier and richer but it also eliminates our pricacy. When it comes down to having an opinion, I believe the internet is a huge contibution to our society, a one we cannot dream of losing despite its disadvantages.
