About two decades ago The Internet they are still at the beginning and those who knew their importance and USability There were very few. Currently there have been few who have never used the Internet in life and those who have not heard of it have not heard of either television, refrigerator or telephone.
The answer to any question You can find it on the Internet (or, please, almost): Personal data, technology, school themes, phone numbers, etc. All this Simplifies things a lot to people, but as well it can complicate them.
How dangerous is the Internet?
The Internet cannot be safely used by normal people. Most people are not prepared to make the technical decisions necessary to safely use the Internet.
Save that it can create addiction (enough cases are known), the Internet is dangerous to children unattended (how many disappearances of the minors are not related to the Internet?) And for uninitiated persons. With the help of the Internet, the rows thickened the profiteers and online thieves, erroneous information Unknown circulation, personal life is exposed, etc. And last but not least, the Internet is not sure because of all categories of virusi, spyware, malware, exploits which are the basis of all the problems listed above.
After decades of computer security work, things are worse than they were. Finding bugs and publicizing them is not making people safer.
And instead of conclusion:
The Internet is dangerous because it is a medium for the instantaneous and uncontrolled transmission of ideas.
Will follow.
