In the 1400s, Johannes Gutenberg invented movable type, which made the printing and distribution of books available for the first time in Europe.

It changed the world by making available information that had never been easily available before.

The Internet has had the same effect, except on a much larger scale.

Believe it or not, back in the 1400s, people were asking whether, all things considered, printing was a good thing or a bad thing.

Why?

Because people used the new presses to print and distribute information that the government and religious authorities didn't like. In some countries, owning a printing press was a crime punishable by death.

Internet is the greatest technique to distribute porn, steal identity, and track people far beyond the "1984" of George Orwells nightmarish future.

The FBI, and the CIA both have computer programs that track everything and everyone on the net.

How good the internet is depends on how people utilise it. If you say visit adult websites than it's bad. If you do any inappropriate things it's bad but if u just use it for research and some games than kudos! i think it's neither, just there.
