Computers have brought a great revolution. We can transfer any information in form
                 of text, pictures, audio and videos within a second. Around the world, hundreds and

                 thousands of computers are connected with each other through the Internet and our
                 family and friends are just a click away from us. All this is possible due to networking
                 otherwise information would have taken days to reach us now which can be heard in
                 seconds.

                 A network can be defined as a group of two or more computers linked together. These
                 computers are connected together through wires, satellites and various other ways.

                 DISADVANTAGES OF INTERNET

                 The use of the Internet has grown tremendously over the past few years and it has become
                 an important part of our everyday lives. We know that the Internet comes with many
                 benefits, but it has some drawbacks as well. The following are the disadvantages of the
                 Internet:

                    People are so involved with making friends and playing games on the Internet that they
                   have stopped giving time to their family and friends, so much so that there is no direct
                   connection with family and friends.

                    We have started to depend on the information available on the Internet so much that
                   we have lost the creative part of ourselves. Instead of relying upon books, we prefer

                   searching for information on the Internet that cannot be hundred percent accurate.
