Discussing the Internet.

Authors Avatar

         Here I discuss, the most mind blasting, and endless medium that touches the hearts of so many million people-“INTERNET”; the two sides of this coin, its boons and its banes. Is internet a boon or a bane for me? I don’t really know. But I am sure it is not any one of it. Maybe I will be able to find the answer for this question if I think about how and what I use the internet for. I use internet mostly for chatting, mailing, project references, entertainment such as music, movies, games, and so on.

I am not sure if chatting is advantageous or disadvantageous because it is economical compared to talking through the phone. It is possible to see the other person, and talk to that person at the same time. If a person does not have the knowledge of computer or if the person is illiterate that person would not be able to use this facility. Chatting uses a whole lot of slang words. Slang is used to shorten the message; its aim is to only communicate the message easily. Due to this, these words are reflected in other places of writing.

Mailing is time saving but decreases writing skills. The postal department controlled by the government of India is to work in a loss if electronic mailing fully replaces letters. And the postman and other employees of the postal department are to be unemployed. Then a portion of the government income decreases. Due to which, indirectly we are going to face problems. Then such minute problems stand as a barer for the development of the country.

Music and movies are easily available entertainment in the internet. They are both illegal and legal. Even if a product costs only 1 rupee and legal but free and illegal- the financially selfish people are obviously going to buy the product for free. That is what is happening regarding movies and music in the internet. Everybody is so selfish that they are downloading music and movies illegally for free. This impacts, economically on the film makers or the music band and the cinema theater owners.

Games are largely practiced addictions of the internet, especially by kids. There are a ...

This is a preview of the whole essay

Here's what a star student thought of this essay

The student makes reference to the ability to talk with another person using face-to-face contact, which is known as 'Video Conferencing'. The report has described a number of technical terms, however the student hasn't in-putted these terms into the report. This may be due to the student has forgotten, or he/she are unaware of the technical term. The report is in 'Bold', which would make it quite difficult to read. In order to achieve high marks, this would need to be as 'Regular'.

Some of the report doesn't have one clear answer, as the report states 'I am not sure if chatting is advantageous or disadvantageous'. The report needs to be clear and this needs to have one clear answer. If there is any confusion, then this will not achieve high marks. If it's an opinion, in order to achieve high marks the student will need to justify their opinion, which will make the report high quality. This is the case though-out the report, in other cases the report states 'One very adult activity of the internet is checking the news'. This is an opinion, and hasn't been justified. In order to make this opinion justified, it would be good to find the market share of an on-line newspaper, such as the Daily Mail Online.

In summary, I would grade the report as an 'Pass'. The report contains quite alot of their opinion, which is fine as long as their have some evidence to back this up, which the report doesn't contain. On the flip side, the content from background research is quite good. The report mentions how by sending an e-mail, this will impact on delivery couriers and there may need to down scale and remove people from the company. This is in-depth and detailed, although one suggestion could be to use the case study of Royal Mail, as there are currently in the process of altering a number of their systems to suit today's demand.
