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.
