The internet and me: The usage and how important it is to my life

We’re all aware of the internet and how much of an
impact on humanity it has, making it the most used tool to express and state
information and ideas around the world in a fast and easy manner. It has made
many people’s lives much easier in being able to find the exact instructions
they need to complete certain tasks, or even simply to catch up and chat with
friends, whether it be from across the street or from a whole other continent
in the other side of the world.

My experiences with such a tool have been one of
fondness and high dependence, although I do admit it can get a bit too far at
times. I always enjoyed how it lets your visit so many sites, read about
practically anything that can come to your mind and just overall, help you
learn things that you never knew before.

It’s usage in terms of social media helps being able to express creativity
among many good content creators such as small-time artists, people who do
viral videos and much more; this tool helps them to get known out in the world,
as perhaps by any other means they wouldn’t have been able to. Alongside that,
like stated before, it helps you meet new people from other places, to learn
about their daily lives or simply chat a bit over a shared interest of a
subject.

It can also greatly improve the livelihood of
schools, college and other institutions, as it’s not only a good place to look
up information if a library or any other source is unavailable, but it also brings
in the idea of being able to share works, books and others to student in a fast
and easy fashion, one where they don’t have to spend extra whatsoever. Thanks
to this, I’ve been able to keep up with my work, do it on time and greatly
diminished the stress of having to get or buy too many books that could cost a
lot of money and also slowly create pressure on my back, which can be very
unhealthy.

Of course, every good thing tends to have a draw
back in this imperfect world, and the internet is no exception. Often being
used a tool for harassment, bullying, stealing of other people’s hard work and
even the dreaded “dark web” are big signs of the horrible side of the
internet, one where people hide behind a screen and go around making other’s
experiences more frustration for the sake of it being “funny”. I’ve
had bad experiences with these kinds of people and trust me, they can really
ruin your day if you’re not careful, but you shouldn’t let them get to you,
remember that whatever horrible thing they might say about you, it only means
that you’re the opposite, a positive rather than a negative.

Overall the internet is far from flawless, it has its issues here and there, but it cannot be denied that it has greatly improved the life of many, many people around the world, from learning great things through its expansive gallery of information, or to just simply listen to music and watch a video of anything you desire. I’m very certain that it has greatly improved the livelihood of my life in many, many aspects and will continue to do so for many generations of humans to come.
