QUESTION 1

Advantages of Internet to the Youth

1. Information

The significant advantage of the internet is the information that it offers.

Huge amount of information about various subjects are presented near
your fingertips. It is not just about one single subject. This cannot be
achieved without the use of search engines.

2. Communication

Youth irrespective of their nations, races, religions and cultures will be

able to communicate and express their opinions with other peer
students. This type of communication is more convenient compared to
other traditional ways such as telephone calls and letters. For the
communication part, Youth can choose various forms like email,
chatrooms, messenger services and videoconferencing. 

And also Youth can use forums to discuss about their subject matters
with teachers and Youth in various parts of the world. For the Youth who
are hesitant to express their doubts, could use forums and remain
anonymous.

3. Entertainment

Apart from studies, Youth can also use internet for the purpose of
entertainment. From videos, music to games everything is made
available on the internet. In the recent years, online gaming has become
popular, particularly among teenagers. For Youth who study for
prolonged hours, this internet entertainment is a great way to relieve
stress.

 Disadvantages of Internet to the Youth

1. Reliability

Not every content posted on the internet is from reliable sources. The
information posted on the internet could be fake or exaggerating. Some
contents are just created purely for the sake of misguiding visitors.
Hence, it is the responsibility of the teachers to guide Youth to find
reliable and trusted information on the internet.

2. Misuse

Even for a student's education, internet can be misused to promote

laziness. Unlike a library where information could just be read, internet
allows contents to be copied. In case of a university assignment or a
school homework, some Youth simply copy paste information from the
internet. From such an action youth will never learn the key concepts
behind the internet information.

3. Anti-Social

Children these days have lost their communication skills mainly due to
the usage of internet. Rather than interacting with people real life,
children are more interested in computer communication. 
Interacting with people online differs massively from real life interaction.
The amount of feelings and thoughts that is expressed in social
interactions can never be achieved by a computer.
