There is a lot of information on the Internet. You can communicate with others using e-mail. You can message text friends in real time (That means you type to them when they are on line and they type messages back, it takes only a fraction of a second - it's like talking only you are typing). You can also get Internet telephones that are usually cheaper than land line telephones.
The harmful effects are, not all the information you find on the Internet is true. All usage of your computer can be monitored and your hard disc saves everything! You may think you deleted it, but it is still there. Your children could accidentally access pornography sites. Hackers can access the information on your computer and steal your identity. Kids (and adults) can become addicted to computer games and forget there is a life out in the real world.
Used moderately, they are marvelous.

Harms: Scams- even a doctor fell for a "you won the lottery"
scam, the "someone will leave you money, if you give us your information scam", and the checking or bank account email
asking you to confirm your password scam. Do not fall for any of these. (Always delete
files and cookies after going
to any site to purchase anything or to bank.) Predators wanting your personal information, or wanting to meet you somewhere. This is not even safe for adults, much less children.
Benefits: Resources: to enable
a research paper; genealogy, drafting a pattern for wood, clothing, crocheting and understanding math; electronic
mail to contact distant family members and friends; educational games such as literati (spelling), chess (strategy), and many others.
24/7 medical look up (Web MD),
Checking on the staff of any clinic, hospital, or Doctor serving
there. (You get only limited information.) 24/7 international
and national phone books.
The latest news, weather, sports, and TV program listings.
And the benefit list goes on and on.............

Why do not you think of roughly all the good issues and people you have on your existence. existence could be great and while your feeling down in basic terms think of concerning the flaws that make you happy. attempt and affiliate self harming with a foul factor like a scent etc. so as that as quickly as approximately to self harm you're placed off by way of that factor.

Harm: too much exposure to those who don't need it or want it or are too young.
BIG BENEFIT: Can ALWAYS find out the answers to my questions. ie, for a job I was applying for needed AS400 experience & I couldn't remember what it was. Googled it & found that YES, I had used it just didn't know what it was called! So I was able to add it to my resume!
