The internet and communication technologies are an important step to make sure that the positive use of internet is being promoted. Without the individual responsibility, government alone cannot bring any significant change in the situation. Therefore, it can be concluded that without the personal responsibility of the individuals, it is very difficult to bring stable change in the realm of positive use of internet in future. Role of parents is also very important in this regard. The parents must bind their children to avoid negative use of the
We have grown accustomed to having the Internet at our fingertips no matter where we go. It is impressive that with less than 10 clicks we could talk, make a transaction or finish a business deal. As with anything, there are always ups and downs. The Internet is extremely useful and without it people and businesses would not be able to function properly; but along with those benefits comes a real danger, and that danger is Cybercrime. Cybercrime put simply is any crime committed on the Internet, whether it is downloading music illegally to cyber-terrorism. In today’s modern era, cyber crime is almost unavoidable, it is essential to prepare yourself and learn as much as you can in order to protect your assets. The Internet is a powerful tool that can be used for good or evil but is up to you to choose.
The internet and the World Wide Web are arguably the greatest inventions of our time. The effects of the internet are deeply pervasive now influencing almost every sphere of our lives. The internet has revolutionized the way we communicate, conduct business, relate with each other, entertain, educate and retrieve information. With the touch of a button, we can now communicate face to face with friends and relatives miles away. The internet has also provided an efficient medium for sharing large volumes of information at low cost. Most businesses now depend on the internet for the smooth running of operations. Other businesses are internet-based, meaning that the internet provides the platform on which they operate. Individuals regard the internet highly because of the benefits of entertainment and communication. The development and advancements of the internet and internet technologies have for instance led to the invention of social media platforms. People have gotten so hooked to social media that one cannot imagine the misery if internet were to become extinct.
The Ministry of Communications and Multimedia has come together to explain to the public what the consequences of the internet's abuse in cyberspace. This effort is made so that Malaysians know that the freedom to use the internet provided by the government has certain limitations. The community should also be aware that freedom and responsibility should be balanced so that the information technology should be used to help the daily work of human beings do not bring harm and bad consequences to other communities. Irresponsible people who are these cyber criminals should also be aware of the actions that will be imposed on them if found guilty for such a person will be fined not more than RM50,000 or imprisonment not exceeding 5 years or both. Implementing moral values in a person is also important so that one will always be on the path of goodness that this cybercriminal will not exist until it is a critical phenomenon
First of all, the Internet, one of the greatest inventions in the history, joined almost all types of telecommunication invented previously such as telephone, radio and television into one, and created new forms of communication such as online text messages, video chatting and social networking. The opportunity of adding and receiving the information on the Internet is one of the aspects stimulating people go online. The simplicity of using the Internet is attracting more and more people in all over the world and the popularity of the Internet is growing even among the youngest aged group of people. To this extent the variety of the information online and vast amount of opportunities provided by websites attract especially children due to their curiosity to know and learn more about the world. However, as in the case with almost all technology, along with benefits come the negative impact of the Internet on children’s development overall.
For example, it has become a new medium for play and entertainment for children, but is this a healthy alternative to older forms of play? And what about parents who use technology just to keep their kids quite? As with all new technologies, there are pros and cons. Although, it is unfair to blame a technology because of the content people put on it. Greenfield, Patricia, and Zheng Yan put it best when they say, “Just as we cannot ask whether a knife is inherently good or bad, we cannot ask whether the Internet is good or bad; we can simply document how it is used.” So, as much as some may blame the Internet for its problems, the real war is against the substance within the Internet (Greenfield, Patricia, and Zheng Yan 390-93). And thus comes the main argument against the Internet, is the composition of the Internet harmful to
If there are so many negative issues regarding the Internet, then why is the statistical data showing a positive increase in the way the Internet is being used? The answer to that is easy. People are very busy and always on the go and the Internet is making life more simple and convenient for all. I recommended that people should use caution while on the Internet to avoid harmful situations. When given the benefits of the Internet, one can easily conclude that the benefits outweigh any negative cons that some say are destroying our society. We should not let people limit our Internet usage based on their negative perspectives.
Cyber crime has become an important concern for not only the business firms, government, law enforcement agencies but also for the common people because these kinds of issues are related to the consumer’s day-to-day activity (Polivanyuk, 2005). Due to these types of crimes, consumer’s money, children, business organization’s integrity, consumer and company’s privacy, etc. are in danger.
Since the Internet management lags far behind the development of the Internet, the Internet is filled with a lot of bad information, this bad information will have seriously negative impact on teenagers who are in puberty and curiosity and imitation. In the process of long-term exposure to this bad information, psychological deviation of youth can be easily caused, as well as criminal impulsion and implementation of crime.
In this day and age, the Internet is the new resource tool for the masses. It has changed the way we live in society and the way people interact with each other. As more and more people log on the Internet, it has undoubtedly changed the way people think and feel about each other and the world around us. When we begin to look at the ways it has changed society, we can clearly see many reasons to its assimilation into modern life. First, it has given people a new way to communicate, through E-mail and web cams. Secondly, it is a sort of modern library where anything imaginable can be researched, and finally, not only in the virtual sense has it changed the world but also in the physical sense. Millions of jobs have been created by way of the Internet, the economy and the way people purchase thing has also changed. Because of these reasons, the Internet has become a staple in society and will continue to influence our lives in a productive way.

In today's society, many aspects of crime committed on a regular basis. Civilians take advantage of people all the time using online resources such as a fraudulent website requiring credit card information to get a free monthly trial. Other examples of cyber crimes are online chatting website, full of predators or websites needing a downloadable program that contains a hacking virus. Sadly, there are many cases of cyber crime all over the internet. The acts of cyber crimes are considered violent acts like any other. Every day citizens are constantly losing money and being victimized due to these fraudulent activities. Cyber crime, including fraud, identity theft, stalking, and hacking, is a growing problem which can be prevented by taking the proper precautions.
All in all, the Internet is beneficial to our youth in today’s society. The children are able to grasp information faster, seek satisfaction, get advice, get help for their schoolwork and enjoy watching movies online. The Internet can will continue to be safe for children to continue to enjoy the usage of the Internet for years to come. With the way technology is going the next generation of children will have it easier to access the Internet than young children of this generation.
A useful thing about internet is the electronic mail, as it gives us faster results than its regular and normal air mail. Internet gives information in any aspects of knowledge which is useful for student and for the business. Internet changes our life (and where sure to that). It gives us a lot of knowledge, advantages and disadvantage of course and we should be aware to that by using it and knowing what are those disadvantages. Though it gives a lot of advantages to us we should always look on the other side of it, for the reason of the social development growth especially to children. (Sonia79, 2005)
Teenagers are the most common group of society who can get artificial by the internet. As a matter of fact, internet addiction is a common habit for teenagers which will affects their future, also can have an effect on their social behavior and their education. Teenagers are spending more time on internet with watching movies, gaming, chatting, etc. rather than doing their home work or study for their tests. In addition, another issue that has made the internet dangerous for teenagers to search is the pornography websites or adult fantasy role-play chat rooms that have been created. These sites have made teenagers addict individuals who are engaged in viewing, downloading, and trading online pornography or involved in adult fantasy role-play chat rooms.
