The Internet is the primary transmitter of technology. Among the new technological means that have emerged, it is undoubtedly the most revolutionary of them all. We are increasingly faced with the reality that we need to use it to develop our daily activities since its purpose is precisely to serve users all over the world.

In our personal lives, we are using our cell phones a lot, not because we use them as cell phones, but because they are the most practical way to access the Internet so we can access what we need, whether it is to do research, study, send a message, make calls or video calls, access social networks, access a bank account through internet banking so we don’t have to go to a branch in person, etc. In short, the Internet brings several benefits to our lives in the use of technologies with easy access to knowledge, collaboration between people, social inclusion, and the creation of values.

In the professional sphere, in addition to using cell phones to access the Internet, we also use computers and notebooks to run the company’s system, which is often accessed via the Internet. In companies, the Internet also facilitates several functions. For example, it promotes products and services, strengthens customer relationships, increases productivity, and expands its presence in new markets.

This valuable tool, the Internet, as we can see, can also have negative aspects if misused, sometimes creating more problems than solutions for people. Some of the cases that can occur are social isolation, addiction, physical issues: obesity, posture, vision, migraines, RSI – repetitive strain injury (due to typing for prolonged periods), psychological problems: children and adolescents due to their brain development and lack of impulse control, lack of privacy (inappropriate use of images and personal information), among others.

With all this, we conclude that the Internet is becoming increasingly essential and present in our lives and will soon be accepted as a simple fact of modern life. Like some of the positive examples mentioned above, without it, we would not have the convenience, practicality, and agility to carry out activities. Just remember that we cannot put it ahead of all priorities.

These possibilities must be exploited through education. The Internet is a good tool for completing children’s homework and allows them new ways of socializing and having fun. In addition, Web 2.0 offers them new ways of developing their creativity.

ICTs bring a lot of value to education:

• They are more fun.
• They are more in line with the way children are and with the society in which we live.
• With them, we can learn more and better.

Therefore, their use should be promoted to ensure that children benefit from them.

The Internet is one of the greatest inventions to date. The accessibility of the Internet has opened up the world to people, removing geographical barriers and sharing information instantly.

That’s why we have to use the Internet consciously and without exaggeration because nowadays people really want to optimize their time. If everyone does their part, keeping in mind that it’s best to use it for good, the population only has to gain from a more technologically developed world.
