I think saying hype to internet is certainly correct. Because as the new utility of the computer are being coming and coming with time being. But saying it hype as boon more than bane is certainly correct and should be done this way.

Yes I definitely agree with this topic because today getting internet facility is very easy. Today we can access internet through our mobile phones and androids and with the social networking sites like facebook and twitter becoming more and more popular day by day we can't deny the fact that internet is an exercise in hype.

The name only signifies it INTER-net, means a network which is shared by all for variety of purposes. Internet has become a buzzword for each n every person as it can sought out variety of problems in fraction of second. Either communicating with your near and dear ones or official work, filling application form or booking train ticket it has become part and parcel of our life. But apart from that it has been misused for example adult sites and porn content can distort the thoughts of youngsters. Hacking has become common either mail accounts or your debit card password. But with few misuse and plenty of use we can say that let us exploit the positive part of it.

Hello friends as in my concern internet is that place where we can get anything which we want. As if we see that we are stranger and taking with each other and shared our views than this is possible only because of internet and we can get abundant of knowledge from internet but in another way if we see the things which are bad, these are also present on internet but now at this state its our responsibility that how we react with these sites and how we react with our future.

As every coin has s two sides, even internet has its two sides both negative and positive. It depends on the user of the site. Mostly internet is used for browsing for information for projects and many other things, which makes a count for its advantage.

But accordingly internet is even used for many other useless purposes, such as wasting the precious time for chatting, and downloading different kinds of videos or songs which is even not legal. So according to me internet is even a boon and a curse.

Internet is one of the revolutionary invention by the mankind. It has brought the world closer and being physically apart in no way means to be disconnected with anyone for years. Let's consider some examples-:.

A) With the advent of search engines we can search and download whole sea of information regarding any topic at our system. With the creation of online library we can see the best of the information available on the net regarding any topic which is bothering us. See right now I don't have to join any institution for GD topics preparation. I am preparing by giving my viewpoints on the topics on this site. A girl who scored good rank in IAS last year said that she did most of the preparation by browsing on different sites and collecting best of the information.

B) Any person separated physically from their family members can see using webcam and chat with them also. Imagine if your dear ones is living in foreign country like USA. The cost of calling will be too high for a middle class family to afford to connect to their dear ones from India. But through net we have to spend a minimal amount to talk and even see them.

C) Recently the revolution which started in Tunisia and spread across the middle-east is especially sparked by people communicating through social networking sites. The guy from Egypt who was central to the revolution movement was no aged leader but actually the young Google engineer. I still recollect that, way back in 2006 when orkut was popularised as a social networking site how I searched and knew about my childhood friends from whom I was separated for 8-9 years.

So, advantages are countless. Now-:.

A) Internet is the source of harmful viruses which can corrupt our sensitive and important files. Somebody can hack our Bank account and can take away all the money.

B) On the advent of youtube all the adult and informative contents are within our easy reach. But when you will visit these sites you will find some adult contents to be topping the most searched lists. It is spoiling our younger generation and they feel like an addicted to it. Even the unmatured childrens browse and view these contents which create an undesirable effects on their minds and finally they end up having some kind of pshycological disorders.

C) Terrorists hack secretive information from important sites. With the help of hacking only, the terrorists entered our high-security parliament also on 13th Dec 2001.

If anybody would have seen the Diehard 4 then they would remember how the terrorists controlled all the systems to capture over the entire security fabric of the country. They were sending bombs through net also!. It may be true one day.

So everything boils down on the use.

Now how can it be stopped? It can't be left on the person to use it wisely. The government should make the strict IT security policies and should create adequate infrastructure to deal properly with misuse. Banning of unwanted sites should be done and proper checks should be made to track appropriate person is viewing appropriate sites. We have to go a long way to realise all this. Then internet will not be an exercise in hype but it will always be seen as the agent of humankind transformation.

Hai this is Raji, in my point of view it not completely a curse to the society because it is source of livelyhood to most of the MNC's where their working strategy is based on internet. In case of students it helpful in creating innovative projects with 100% information regarding the project.

Considering the use of internet in public offices, it helps in completing the work quickly and efficiently so henceforth we need to make use of the available technology judiciously and intellectuality.

As my friend said its not a curse. Because it depends on how we are using it. It totally depend on our thoughts and approach towards it. We need to use it in a right a way.

Yeah gentlemen, as we are discussing about the internet. As per as my concern the word internet is the network where we can get information from all the network sources. Yeah internet is really became a crazy in this world. Because everybody came to know about this and usage become more and more in the present world.

According to the youngsters now-a-days they are usually addicted to this to get more information about their studies, entertainment, sports, current affairs and almost the social-network sites. Thus it is playing a most important role to everybody at present situation.

Apart from this positive aspects, it has the negative side which people are using it in wrong way like Hacking which indicates to cyber-crime and some strange sites to divert their mind to negative thoughts and adult sites. So these are should to be stop for their misuse and create awareness to people mainly youngsters.

So, I prefer to use it in right way and get benefited by all the resources and reduce stop the crime. Thank Q.
