How does the internet impact our lives?
In a mostly negative way.
And here are a couple of reasons why.
the internet holds many bad things in it, and what I mean by bad is, people exploiting it for data collection, and they can track you with certain means, which I will discuss further on. Another example is the stuff people put IN the internet, and I don’t think I have to tell you what. Another example is stuff like social media, (i.e. YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, etc.) which is very addictive stuff, because they trigger chemicals in your brain, and you just keep on mindlessly watching random junk from people you don’t even know. And don’t even get me started on the advertisements. the things people advertise on there is DISGUSTING. I’m just casually playing an online game, and all of a sudden, an ad pops up mid game showing things like: “How to know if you are gay” or ads showing women in bikinis and other TERRIBLE and AWFUL things. Personally I HATE that, and I wish that if they show any ads, it should be about clothing, or wallets, or cars, OR ANYTHING ELSE. Now another thing is online hackers. They all suck, they often pretend to be a company that is well known, like Amazon but instead of Amazon.com it’s something like Amazon.org, Amzon.com, or others. and by clicking on those links, they can steal your info, like IP addresses, web browser history, and more.
Now I’m not saying that ALL internet is bad, but I am saying that there are loads of terrible things on the internet that can influence your decisions in life, and can really mess you up. So you should always be careful where you go and what you do on the internet, and watch out for those advertisements!
