Advantages and disadvantage of using internet!!!!!!

Internet The internet ,which is global

system of interconnected computer network or laptop. It is a network that consists several things , including public , academics , business and everything from the human thinking. The internet carries a vast array of information resources and services , so it is reason why the internet link uses WWW, which means the World Wide Web. so now people would like to use it to search more information in their lives. It also takes less time for people to do research. It makes communications more easily all over the world.

Advantages of using internet

It is “Fast”.It is “Cheap”.

It is “Convenient” and “Global”

Why is it “FAST”

Type the key words on the search page, e.g. Halloween or Chinese ghost festivals

You will get lots of relevant information in a second.

When you want to know what the next festivals are coming , the internet provides the fast resources and information you need .

It is a fast way to contact your friends , who are living in overseas and celebrate festivals together.

You can learn different festive cultures quickly via the internet.

Why is it “CHEAP” In some cases, people do not spend much money or cash

to celebrate festivals, e.g. St. Valentines’ Day. People do not need to buy flowers or love cards for their favorite persons , they just write the lovely emails.

Like Halloween for children , they can just download some games to play or videos about Halloween , so they do not go to games stations or theatre to celebrate it.

Not waste money on preparing the costume , making pumpkins and set up the parties.

Why is it “Convenient” and “Global”

Most of the Chinese families in Asia must go to “temples” to pray and celebrate the “Chinese New Year”. But for some students who are studying aboard, they do not have holidays on those festivals, using internet becomes one of the good ways for celebration. Then there are few websites to create the online temples to help people to feel being celebrating the festivals and meet a lot of friends in similar situation to have good contacts.

Disadvantages of using internet

It is not “Truthful” .

Acquire the wrong information.

No sensible resources and knowledge

“ Why is not “Truthful”

Nowadays people may forget the meaning of celebrating festivals because people are busy and may be lazy ,but they prefer to use the Email, MSN, and Skype to contact their friends on the festival days. When we celebrate festivals like Lantern festival, we are supposed to be with our friends family and lovers but more people may not realize the original meaning of festival.

Suggestion: Don’t be lazy and don’t

spend all the time with your computer. Try to think about going out and having good party with friends or partners to make friendships and love forever.

Why people acquire the wrong information The internet is most convenient and fast system

in the world. However , there are some websites may not have hundreds percent true information e.g. Wikipedia. It provides useful information and articles but it also can let people write and change information with their own ideas , then the information may not be accurate. Some people will read the wrong information. When people upload information, the editors of Wikipedia need to delete the wrong information, it may take days, weeks or even months. During the “Time Gap”, people will get this wrong information.

Suggestion: Try to go to libraries to find the information from the books because they include the professional authors and publishing consultants to launch their books. Find information from academic research papers if needed. Get information from more reliable sources like British Library and some Universities have their own publications like Cambridge university or Oxford university.

Why is it not sensible resources and knowledge

When the internet becomes so popular, more and more people create their own WebPages and express their opinions and send out information through social networking website like Facebook, yahoo etc. Some people express personal opinions or emotions (not really sensible sometimes).

Suggestion: Find some more reliable websites because they pay more attention on the accuracy of the information on their website such as “The Free Dictionary By FARLEX” from Oxford dictionary is a good website for reference.

Conclusion On one hand, internet is very convenient and a fast

system to help people do many things including festival celebration. On the other hand, people may lose the chance to have direct contacts with friends, relatives by attending festival cerebrations.

In some undeveloped countries like Uganda , Kenya, they may not have internet for them to use, they can only use traditional ways to celebrate festivals , for instance , people would “hunt animals during the “KIJANI Festivals”- Harvest time. It is easier for them to preserve their traditions.

We should make the best use of Internet in improving our life and at the same time, don’t let internet hinder our direct contacts with friends and relatives.
