However, like every single innovation in science and technology, internet has its own disadvantages. Children using the Internet has become a big concern. Most parents do not realise the dangers involved when their children log onto the Internet. One of the disadvantages is viruses threat.

data and software stored in your computer. A lot of time is wasted to collect the information on the Internet. Some people waste a lot of time in chatting or to play games. At home and offices, most of the people use Internet without any positive purpose.

Besides that, Spamming refers to sending unwanted e-mails in bulk, which provide no purpose and needlessly obstruct the entire system. Such illegal activities can be very frustrating for you, and so instead of just ignoring it, you should make an effort to try and stop these activities so that using the Internet can become that much safer. Security problem is also one of the disadvantages of the internet. For example, the valuable websites can be damaged by hackers and your valuable data may be deleted. Similarly, confidential data may be accessed by unauthorized persons. Pornography is perhaps the biggest threat related to children’s healthy mental life. There are thousands of pornographic sites on the Internet that can be easily found and can be a detrimental factor to letting children use the Internet.
