POLL: Is the internet good or bad?

Question

why?

Answer 1

both
it opens up a whole world of people and information to everyone, anywhere
but like everything else its open to those who abuse it

Answer 2

It's almost completely uncensored so any rubbish can go on it. It is presented as a reliable source of information but I would say most of the things on it are rubbish. It's an advertisers paradise, and I don't need more adds thank you very much. Does anyone really need the Internet? Good for research, but how do you validate the information on it? It reduces peoples contact with each other. So, overall I would say it's not good, but am reluctant to say it's bad, it's somewhat addictive though.

Answer 3

Good and Bad,,
Good because has all the information you want,, answers to everything right at your fingertips,,,Also is entertaining with all the games and ,you can keep in contact with family and friends who live at a distance,, You can send pictures,,print whatever you need to help with school, or work,,,You can work from it, depending on what you need to do,,
Is bad in that there is all kind of weirdos, scammers, players, and perverts on internet,,,You must be very careful and cautious when choosing people for friends on internet,,,
Internet may also be bad because can become addictive,,,and too much of anything isn't good !!

Answer 4

The internet is a system, a network, an insensate entity. It is neither good nor bad, anymore than a gun is good or bad.
It is the use to which systems and objects are put that determines the value of the outcomes.

Answer 5

Both. With information at anyone's fingertips, the newsmedia is challenged to make sure their facts are correct (well I'm hoping), certain police chiefs are challenged to work harder, people are reaching out to one another more often, men and women find work that keep them from Disabilty oblivion or other welfare traps, and avoiding Christmas shopping nightmares ordering everything in advance. On the other hand, people have become addicted to certain aspects of the internet's instant gratification: want an answer-there it is at the click of a mouse--no work, no pride, no real knowledge--instant. want to get off--there it is---chatroom after chat room, porn site after porn site--no chase, no actual person, no "love connection"--instant. Want to shop for comic books and games at 3 oclock in the morning--type in a user name and password, click the mouse--no other person, no lively conversation--instant bejeweled.
