One of the many ways that we waste our time

Most if not all technological technologies and practices can be likened to a double-edged sword. This can't be more eloquently observed in the Internet as a whole and how it is being used and abused by the global society.First the pros. Most people give their thanks to whatever little nerd tinkerer that invented the Internet, that which turned a computer into something more than a paperweight. Communication is instant between people around the world, and the other communication mediums are now being infused into the Internet.But the two benefits that I have just presented show the cons. Easy communication means that the wrong people can start communicating together (Ex: molesters to children). The infusion of mediums can be detrimental to the existences of TV, radio, and newspapers. As the Internet slowly sucks these things in too, people will be at odds over which way to get their information, which could become corrupted at the push of a button.
