The name Internet comes from the English words Interconnected Networks, which means

"interconnected networks". The Internet is the union of all the networks and computers
distributed all over the world, so it could be defined as a global network in which all the networks
that use TCP / IP protocols are combined and that are compatible with each other. In this
"network of networks" as it is also known, computers of all types participate, from large systems
to personal models. The network includes official, governmental, educational, scientific and
business institutions that provide their information to millions of people. Internet was the result of
an experiment of the Department of Defense of the United States, in 1969, which materialized in
the development of ARPAnet, a network that linked universities and high-tech centers with
contractors of that department. Its purpose was the exchange of data between scientists and the
military. The network was joined by nodes from Europe and the rest of the world, forming what is
known as the world wide web (World Wide Web). In 1990 ARPAnet ceased to exist.

advantage

Makes communication much easier.

It is possible to meet and interact with many people from all over the world.

The search for information becomes much simpler, without having to go forcibly to traditional
libraries.

disadvantages

Just as it is easy to find good information, it is possible to find in the same way bad, unpleasant
information (pornography, explicit violence, terrorism) that may especially affect minors.

It generates a great dependency or vice of the internet, neglecting many personal or work things.

It causes students to make less effort to do their homework, due to the bad practice of copy /
paste.

With all the above, I can conclude that the Internet is an extremely important technological
resource that comes to completely modify the methods of communication, research and
knowledge regarding the traditional or ancient that we use every day in every part of the world. .

It is used in all areas of daily life, for example in the field of information is very effective, it is very
useful in the same way in the field of education, in commerce, in communication although it has
been acting in each of the fields , etc. So, the Internet came to revolutionize our way of life, I feel
very fast, allowing us to save time, money and effort.
