staila i think the internet is the source of information but people use it in different ways. basically the people like to use it in bad way like junk msgs. but There many advantages to using the internet such as:
Email.
E-mail is an online correspondence system. With e-mail you can send and receive instant electronic messages, which works like writing letters. Your messages are delivered instantly to people anywhere in the world, unlike traditional mail that takes a lot of time. Email is now an essential communication tools in business. It is also excellent for keeping in touch with family and friends. The advantages to email is that it is free ( no charge per use) when compared to telephone, fax and postal services.

Information.
The Internet is a virtual treasure trove of information. Any kind of information on any topic under the sun is available on the Internet. The ‘search engines’ on the Internet can help you to find data on any subject that you need.
There is a huge amount of information available on the internet for just about every subject known to man, ranging from government law and services, trade fairs and conferences, market information, new ideas and technical support.

Services.
Many services are now provided on the internet such as online banking, job seeking and applications, and hotel reservations. Often these services are not available off-line or cost more.

Buy or sell products.
The internet is a very effective way to buy and sell products all over the world. Along with getting information on the Internet, you can also shop online. There are many online stores and sites that can be used to look for products as well as buy them using your credit card. You do not need to leave your house and can do all your shopping from the convenience of your home.


Communities.
Communities of all types have sprung up on the internet. Its a great way to meet up with people of similar interest and discuss common issues.

Online Chat:
There are many ‘chat rooms’ on the web that can be accessed to meet new people, make new friends, as well as to stay in touch with old friends.

Downloading Software:
This is one of the most happening and fun things to do via the Internet. You can download innumerable, games, music, videos, movies, and a host of other entertainment software from the Internet, most of which are free.



Disadvantages of the Internet:-

There are certain cons and dangers relating to the use of Internet that can be summarized as:

Personal Information:
If you use the Internet, your personal information such as your name, address, etc. can be accessed by other people. If you use a credit card to shop online, then your credit card information can also be ‘stolen’ which could be akin to giving someone a blank check.

Pornography:
This is a very serious issue concerning the Internet, especially when it comes to young children. There are thousands of pornographic sites on the Internet that can be easily found and can be a detriment to letting children use the Internet.

Spamming:
This refers to sending unsolicited e-mails in bulk, which serve no purpose and unnecessarily clog up the entire system.

Such illegal activities are frustrating for all Internet users, and so instead of just ignoring it, we should make an effort to try and stop these activities so that using the Internet can become that much safer. That said, the advantages of the Internet far outweigh the disadvantages, and millions of people each day benefit from using the Internet for work and for pleasure.
it depends how the user use it.

Max Dear Jayashree Pakhare,

I have to say that I like your argumentation about the internet. And that's why I let me inspire by your text. But I forgot to write that it is your information and that I used some of your arguments and so I was punished for this mistake. But that was not so bad like that I lost my teacher's trust and I think I won't get it back. So I have to say sorry for my mistake and to wish you good luck!

Sincere regards,

MIP

nice what is the history of the internet 12/13/2007
Alex Der Jayashree Pakhare,
i like you article very much, thats why i copied it for school.
But it is too excellent for my english graduate, that my teacher mrs. L. directly found the original printed by you. So i see one more disadvantage of the internet, because we take all information for right without thinking about it or writing things ourself.

Sincerely yours
Alex E.

Viktor P. Dear author,
your text is almost perfectly-well written, your language style is pleasing to read, so
I've copied your content for a homework, but my teacher found your article, too. And she, Miss L., does find your text as good as I do, but I got 0 points for the homework :/.
So a new advantage of internet is that you can find such as good texts in the internet for homeworks as your's is, but an important disadvantage is that teachers are as modern and technological educated as I am, so the risk of being too lazy is too high.

Your Viktor P.
