Judging from the questions around here I'd say that youth use the internet exclusively to get FREE RUNESCAPE ACCOUNTS, PROXY 4 MY SKOOL BLOCK MYSPAEC, and the occasional WHO KNOES MILEY CYRUS EMAIL I DO SHE CHAT WITH ME!

There are plent of advantages that the internet has to offer. It is not limited to any particular age group but directly affects the youth in a positive way and if one is not carful it may even have negative impact.
The internet opens up a new world of possibilities. Information can be accessed and shared very easily. New means of entertainment and communication are now available to all of us.
Instant Messaging and Email are evidence enough of the popularity of the internet.
File Sharing & P2P networks have also made it easy to obtain the stuff that you need without having to spend too much time and money over it.
However, on the flip side, these very same technologies are promoting undesired off-shoots and it is upto the user to ultimately seek whatever he/she needs.

Advantages of the Internet
The Internet provides opportunities galore, and can be used for a variety of things. Some of the things that you can do via the Internet are:
E-mail: E-mail is an online correspondence system. With e-mail you can send and receive instant electronic messages, which works like writing letters. Your messages are delivered instantly to people anywhere in the world, unlike traditional mail that takes a lot of time.
Access Information: The Internet is a virtual treasure trove of information. Any kind of information on any topic under the sun is available on the Internet. The ‘search engines’ on the Internet can help you to find data on any subject that you need.
Shopping: Along with getting information on the Internet, you can also shop online. There are many online stores and sites that can be used to look for products as well as buy them using your credit card. You do not need to leave your house and can do all your shopping from the convenience of your home.
Online Chat: There are many ‘chat rooms’ on the web that can be accessed to meet new people, make new friends, as well as to stay in touch with old friends.
Downloading Software: This is one of the most happening and fun things to do via the Internet. You can download innumerable, games, music, videos, movies, and a host of other entertainment software from the Internet, most of which are free.
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.
If you come across any illegal activity on the Internet, such as child pornography or even spammers, then you should report these people and their activities so that they can be controlled and other people deterred from carrying them out. Child pornography can be reported to:
Your Internet service provider
