▶ Your Answer :
There is a long lasting issue that the
values of internet. Some people said that the internet provides people with a
lot of valuable information. Others think access to much information creates
problems. I think both opinions have their own clues. But if I have to stand by
one side, I think access to much information creates problems for following
reasons.
First,
there are a lot of disproven information in the internet. There are almost
unlimited information in the internet so many people can access this freely.
But at the same time there are so many fake news or disproven information in
the internet. While using internet, people do not have to verify who they are.
By using this anonymity, people can hide their identify and spread something
wrong information. Of course some information can be checked by some experts
but it is not easy because the amount of information is enormous. So that
actually many cases we can not confirm the facts. This means that they can
manipulate some information on their ways. So normal people are easy to be
faked. For example, Woo Hyung Chul who was the one of the famous online math
tutors. He revealed that many academies have hired some promoting companies to
increase popularities for their own tutors. The problem was that the promoting
companies made some good comments for their tutors but actually they never
listened to the lectures and just made fake ID and pretended they were tutors’
students. So it made many students confused because they believed the
manipulated comments on the internet. Therefore Mr. Woo sued many academies for
hiring promoting companies which made fake ID. Thus, access to much information
causes problems.
Second,
there are many dark webs which can be used as illegal activities. Actually much
of formal information is in the surface webs such as Google, Naver. Theses
sites usually have formal information which is normally safe. But there are
also many dark webs in the internet and normal people can not search from them
from the internet search. They definitely exist and can be used by gangs for
the illegal activities such as drug, rape and even murder. The amount of dark
webs is bigger than we thought but we can not estimate how big it is because we
can not easily access. These webs require their unique software or
authorization to access the site so that they can hide themselves. But someone
who wants to try to illegal work they can access these web informal ways. So it
can raise the illegal people much worse. So it is true that it is difficult to
access some dark webs but if someone accesses the dark web he can easily
involved the illegal work. For example, in 2015 there was ransomware accident
which is known as Wannacry. Approximately 3 million computers were attacked
among 150 countries. The hackers asked them to monetary consideration for restoring
all data. If not all data would be deleted within 7 days. So some people should
pay enormous money to the hackers. Thus, sometime internet access makes disastrous
results.
I
also agree that there are lots of advantages on the internet information. But
due to dark webs and unproven information, people can be affected by them.
Actually, as internet developed, we have
got almost all information from the internet so that the impact of internet
could be much bigger than the past. So too much internet information can be
disadvantage.
