The Internet-a Curse, Not a Blessing
‘The Internet- a curse, not a blessing.’
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, the invention of the Internet is one of man’s greatest and most spectacular endeavours. For, it has truly revolutionalized the world in regards to how we engage in business, recreate, socialize, educate ourselves and communicate with each other. The Internet eliminated all impediments of conventional methods of operations. Through its construction, the world economies have flourished.

Benjamin Franklyn once said that “man is a tool-making animal,” accordingly, often we have observed the destruction of the world due to man’s ‘well-intended’ inventions. With such inventions as the automobile, train and aeroplane, the ozone layer is now threatened. Through man’s desire to produce a better fruit and to expand his farm resources, insecticides now kill and destroy the earth’s plant and animal life. And through man’s desire to have more space in order to progress and to live, deforestation has changed the oxygen cycle, resulting in there being more carbon dioxide in the air, which in fact heats up the earth. In that same light, the Internet too, is destroying mankind. For it is corrupting our way of thinking, work ethics and is ultimately making the people of the earth lazy.
