Hi~ Everyone~

Nowadays many people aroud the world use Internet.

It gives information, somtimes share the opinion like this cafe
We can also play game, chat , e-mail etc.

But it is dangerous for certain people to have access to sexual
and violent material.

How do you thing the internet will develop over the next year?

Give any opinions about the internet.

I suspect the internet will continue to be used for both good and bad. It is simply too big for any one force to control. Shocked

Regards,

Corey

As everything, all this stuff is user for particulat things and, suddenly, it becomes public.
But, when it becomes public, it also gets a clear and a dark side. I think the best use of Internet is education... and entertainment.
The point is... Which kind of entertainment? Confused

Crying or Very sad It's so sad people revert Internet uses... Nobody is safe.
First, because of sexual and violent contents, as you said. Second, because of our security. Third, because it may bring different problems, mainly viruses (although it isn't the only way) and, about society and health, addiction.

Oops! You catch me in the last one...
Very Happy Bye!

The internet is a good way to study from home, however many companies that offer online classes do not understand how to use the internet very well.

A program that has no human contact is not desireable. It could help with vocabulary or reading, but only a little.

I have seen some good programs and some very bad programs. I guess a lot depends on the person, what he/she wants to accomplish and the speed of the internet connection!

Take care,

Corey

Hello!
You're right, Corey. Internet would be just a tool for education, not the only source. Some of these services provide support in interesting ways. The only theory would be a huge mistake, mainly in EFL and ESL.

Razz And you're also right, Alex. Homeworks at home! Rolling Eyes
Bye!

Internet is like a big city. Some parts are for everyone, some parts are not. Whatever you want, it is there for you, so what is the fuss? If you dont want to look at porn, no one is forcing you. If you do (like me Razz ) it is there for the picking.

Peace out~

[ Very Happy .......... Exclamation
Many people around the world communicate by the Internet because it is so easy and saves their money. The Internet makes the world smaller. I agree with all opinions above. I thing the Internet is a good way to connect together and learn more. Furthermore, we can also use the Internet for getting news, sharing opinions, searching data, entertaining, and etc. It makes users feel comfortable and save times.

The Internet has many benefits but sometimes it can harm users. There are also dangers from the Internet more and more such as violent contents, viruses, sexes, crimes, and so on.

However, all problems might happen or not, it depends on you.

Take care, Giggs Laughing

Hello , On this time the internet is an important thing that very useful. Many people around the world use it to chat , search data , send email , send e-greeting card , download , etc. to the other. The internet had widely use to communicate with the other people. Because it cheaper , faster and easier to send an email or e-greeting card to the recipeint who live in the other place when compare with a simple mail or greeting card. Some time I use the internet for entertainment such as use to play the online game , listen to the new music or see the demo movie. For me , I think the internet is the best interesting place that I ever know.

I think nowadays, the internet provides advantages for two reasons. First, the internet is a source of knowledge. You can search information around the world and you can learn many languages. For example the data which was showed, come from everywhere. It isn't your language. You must know these language for reading. So you can learn it in the internet.
Second, the internet is convenient to communicate because it's very fast. For example, most people use the mail for communication at one time, but now they use electronic mail (e-mail) because it arrives to the reciever immediately. Moreover, it was not lost. In the other case, you can talk to your friend or each other through the internet. If you use it, you will see that it provides a lot of benefits. Do you agree with me? Smile Surprised Very Happy
