As with everything in life, it has good and bad points. If not for the internet, my love of Japan would be nothing more than a hollow viewing of TV and books, I wouldn't know anywhere as near as much info as I know today. It provides shopping to the door of the elderly and disabled, it provides relief for those whom need to 'relieve stress'
It provides the oppurtunity to connect with other people whom you wouldn't otherwise know. It can keep you in touch with family from the other side of the globe. But of course, the internet is a haven of evil as well. Examples are spamming, phishing and hacking. Of course, take preventative measures, and the internet becomes a truly amazing place. I approve of it on the whole
