One great disadvantage when researching via the Internet is that it's not always easy to know how reliable the source is.

Any fool can post a web site & pretend to be someone they are not. Sometimes it's like asking a passing stranger on the street how to perform brain surgery & assuming the answer is qualified & accurate.

Disadvantages of the Internet
There are certain cons and dangers relating to the use of Internet that can be summarized as:

Personal Information:
If you use the Internet, your personal information such as your name, address, etc. can be accessed by other people. If you use a credit card to shop online, then your credit card information can also be ‘stolen’ which could be akin to giving someone a blank check.

Pornography:
This is a very serious issue concerning the Internet, especially when it comes to young children. There are thousands of pornographic sites on the Internet that can be easily found and can be a detriment to letting children use the Internet.

Spamming:
This refers to sending unsolicited e-mails in bulk, which serve no purpose and unnecessarily clog up the entire system.
