1.Introduction
The Internet in 21st is the backbone of an inexhaustible source of global information that has
revolutionized the communication system, knowledge transmission and education system which
brings progress in all fields of endeavour from the creation of new goods, services and ideas for
the advancement of knowledge and well-being of society as well. Internet is not just a mere
technology, rather a cultural artefact bringing cultures together and aggregates people in more
accessible forms, nurturing the rise of new forms of expression for art, innovation and enormous
knowledge transmission.
The internet has strongly influenced our education system by connecting and empowering
students and educators through unbounded possibilities of knowledge sharing and creating new
ways of teaching and learning without the restriction of time and physical constraints that
captivate and stimulate students' imagination at anytime, anywhere using an internet connected
device.
The internet can speed up growth, development and offer immense opportunities for
strengthening the economy through e-commerce coupled with improved productivity and
competitiveness as it has become a major distribution channel for goods and services. Our lives
are surrounded by the internet in every aspect and altered the way of interaction with our family,
friends and life partners, and the meaning of cultural identity as well. Internet is a formidable
resource of building knowledge in which the users are highly sensitized with the security and
privacy issues, particularly minors and children despite raising awareness. Though it a huge
network of networks, it acts as an easy medium to access pornography in children causing a
sexually deviant or sexually- addictive and increase in the prevalence of sexually transmitted
diseases (STD). Social media and the internet have become an inseparable part of the younger
generation's lifestyle.
The excessive use of Internet had leads to IA Disorder (IAD) resulting negative impact on
physical, mental, social and occupational health impairment to people who are exposed and also
to vulnerable population by disabling their time control. This paper emphasized on both positive
and negative impacts of Internet in our day to day lives; Psychological profile of addicted
people; potential risk on emotional, mental and physical health and possible treatment strategies
of IAD.

2. What do you think is the impact of internet?


The internet is the guiding technology of the IT Age just as the electrical engine was of the
Industrial Age. The internet is a global network of inter-linked networks that mainly provide
wireless interactive communication. Though the internet was first deployed in 1969, it was
only in the 1990s that it became available to the public.

From there onwards, its use has diffused rapidly throughout the world with there being around
7 billion users of wireless devices currently that employ internet technology. With about 7.7
billion people in this world and with limited use among those under 5 years of age, it’s almost
safe to say that the entire humanity is now connected to the internet! There are however
variations in the bandwidths available, the efficiency and cost of its use.

It’s been postulated that about 95% of all information available has been digitized and made
accessible via the internet. The internet has also led to a complete transformation in
communication, availability of knowledge as well as social interaction. However, as with all

4
major technological changes, there are positive and negative effects of the internet on the
society too.

The positive impacts of the internet include the following:

➢ It provides effective communication using emailing and instant messaging services to


any part of the world.
➢ It improves business interactions and transactions, saving on vital time.
➢ Banking and shopping online have made life less complicated.
➢ You can access the latest news from any part of the world without depending on the TV
or newspaper.
➢ Education has received a huge boost as uncountable books and journals are available
online from libraries across the world. This has made research easier. Students can now
opt for online courses using the internet.
➢ Application for jobs has also become easier as most vacancies are advertised online
with online applications becoming the norm.
➢ Professionals can now exchange information and materials online, thus enhancing
research.

The negative impacts of the internet on society include:

➢ Easy availability of illegal or inappropriate materials online that isn’t age-suitable.


➢ Addiction to social networks can disrupt an individual’s life, both personally and
professionally.
➢ Some miscreants use the internet to hack into people’s accounts for spurious activities
including stealing data or banking information.
➢ Yet others have been known to misuse the internet for spreading hate and terrorism,
two dangerously catastrophic scenarios.
➢ However, those indulging in misusing the internet are few and far in-between. On a
global scale, the internet has been the best thing to have happened to human society in
recent years!

3. How the Internet Has Changed Everyday Life


The Internet has turned our existence upside down. It has revolutionized communications, to
the extent that it is now our preferred medium of everyday communication. In almost everything
we do, we use the Internet. Ordering a pizza, buying a television, sharing a moment with a
friend, sending a picture over instant messaging. Before the Internet, if you wanted to keep up
with the news, you had to walk down to the newsstand when it opened in the morning and buy
a local edition reporting what had happened the previous day. But today a click or two is enough
to read your local paper and any news source from anywhere in the world, updated up to the
minute.

The Internet itself has been transformed. In its early days—which from a historical perspective
are still relatively recent—it was a static network designed to shuttle a small freight of bytes or
a short message between two terminals; it was a repository of information where content was
published and maintained only by expert coders. Today, however, immense quantities of
information are uploaded and downloaded over this electronic leviathan, and the content is very
much our own, for now we are all commentators, publishers, and creators.

5
In the 1980s and 1990s, the Internet widened in scope to encompass the IT capabilities of
universities and research centers, and, later on, public entities, institutions, and private
enterprises from around the world. The Internet underwent immense growth; it was no longer a
state-controlled project, but the largest computer network in the world, comprising over 50,000
sub-networks, 4 million systems, and 70 million users.

The emergence of web 2.0 in the first decade of the twenty-first century was itself a revolution
in the short history of the Internet, fostering the rise of social media and other interactive, crowd-
based communication tools.

The Internet was no longer concerned with information exchange alone: it was a sophisticated
multidisciplinary tool enabling individuals to create content, communicate with one another,
and even escape reality. Today, we can send data from one end of the world to the other in a
matter of seconds, make online presentations, live in parallel “game worlds,” and use pictures,
video, sound, and text to share our real lives, our genuine identity. Personal stories go public;
local issues become global.

The rise of the Internet has sparked a debate about how online communication affects social
relationships. The Internet frees us from geographic fetters and brings us together in topic-based
communities that are not tied down to any specific place. Ours is a networked, globalized society
connected by new technologies. The Internet is the tool we use to interact with one another, and
accordingly poses new challenges to privacy and security.

Information technologies have wrought fundamental change throughout society, driving it


forward from the industrial age to the networked era. In our world, global information networks
are vital infrastructure—but in what ways has this changed human relations? The Internet has
changed business, education, government, healthcare, and even the ways in which we interact
with our loved ones—it has become one of the key drivers of social evolution.

The changes in social communication are of particular significance. Although analogue tools
still have their place in some sectors, new technologies are continuing to gain ground every day,
transforming our communication practices and possibilities—particularly among younger
people. The Internet has removed all communication barriers. Online, the conventional
constraints of space and time disappear and there is a dizzyingly wide range of communicative
possibilities. The impact of social media applications has triggered discussion of the “new
communication democracy.”

The development of the Internet today is being shaped predominantly by instant, mobile
communications. The mobile Internet is a fresh revolution. Comprehensive Internet
connectivity via smartphones and tablets is leading to an increasingly mobile reality: we are not
tied to any single specific device, and everything is in the cloud.

4. COMMUNICATION OPPORTUNITIES CREATED BY THE
INTERNET

The Internet has become embedded in every aspect of our day-to-day lives, changing the way
we interact with others. This insight struck me when I started out in the world of social media.
I created my first social network in 2005, when I was finishing college in the United States—it
had a political theme. I could already see that social media were on the verge of changing our
way of communicating, helping us to share information by opening up a new channel that cuts
across conventional ones.

That first attempt did not work out, but I learned from the experience.I get the feeling that in
many countries failure is punished too harshly—but the fact is, the only surefire way of avoiding
failure is to do nothing at all. I firmly believe that mistakes help you improve; getting it wrong
teaches you how to get it right. Creativity, hard work, and a positive attitude will let you achieve
any goal.

In 2006, after I moved to Spain, I created Tuenti. Tuenti (which, contrary to widespread belief,
has nothing to do with the number 20; it is short for “tuentidad,” the Spanish for “your entity”)
is a social communication platform for genuine friends. From the outset, the idea was to keep it
simple, relevant, and private. That’s the key to its success.

I think the real value of social media is that you can stay in touch from moment to moment with
the people who really matter to you. Social media let you share experiences and information;
they get people and ideas in touch instantly, without frontiers. Camaraderie, friendship, and
solidarity—social phenomena that have been around for as long as humanity itself—have been
freed from the conventional restrictions of space and time and can now thrive in a rich variety
of ways.

Out of all the plethora of communication opportunities that the Internet has opened up, I would
highlight the emergence of social media and the way they have intricately melded into our daily
lives. Social media have changed our personal space, altering the way we interact with our loved
ones, our friends, and our sexual partners; they have forced us to rethink even basic daily
processes like studying and shopping; they have affected the economy by nurturing the business
startup culture and electronic commerce; they have even given us new ways to form broad-
based political movements.

5. The Internet and Education

The Internet has clearly impacted all levels of education by providing unbounded possibilities
for learning. I believe the future of education is a networked future. People can use the Internet
to create and share knowledge and develop new ways of teaching and learning that captivate
and stimulate students’ imagination at any time, anywhere, using any device. By connecting
and empowering students and educators, we can speed up economic growth and enhance the
well-being of society throughout the world. We should work together, over a network, to build
the global learning society.

The network of networks is an inexhaustible source of information. What’s more, the Internet
has enabled users to move away from their former passive role as mere recipients of messages
conveyed by conventional media to an active role, choosing what information to receive, how,
and when. The information recipient even decides whether or not they want to stay informed.

7
Students can work interactively with one another, unrestricted by physical or time constraints.
Today, you can use the Internet to access libraries, encyclopedias, art galleries, news archives,
and other information sources from anywhere in the world: I believe this is a key advantage in
the education field. The web is a formidable resource for enhancing the process of building
knowledge.

I also believe the Internet is a wonderful tool for learning and practicing other languages—this
continues to be a critical issue in many countries, including Spain, and, in a globalized world,
calls for special efforts to improve.

The Internet, in addition to its communicative purposes, has become a vital tool for exchanging
knowledge and education; it is not just an information source, or a locus where results can be
published, it is also a channel for cooperating with other people and groups who are working on
related research topics.

6. Conclusion
The internet has had many impacts on education, including making the possibility of a fully
accredited online degree possible. It has provided students with the makings for both their
success and their demise with online and hybrid classes. The biggest impact though, though,
has been a positive one, and it outweighs all the negative ones we have discussed. That
impact is choice. The internet has allowed students to pick their path from more than the 2
options of old. Allowing students to choose the education path that is right for them has been
an essential changein our society.

A culture is defined in part by its art, and the internet has had a huge impact on how we
consume media, as well as how creators share their creations. Artists are encouraged to
experiment and create freely because all of their creations are shared with the web, not just
the works which are considered relevant or desirable. The nail in the coffin though, is that
consumers are being pushed to consume this amateur media by stiffing and ineffective
Intellectual Property Protections imposed by media companies. So our media is freer, and
thus our culture is freer, so it's obvious that this has had a positive impact on our lives.

The internet's impact on our social live though is not as easy to quantify. For extroverts it can
boost communications, even to unhealthy levels, and trivialize ourin person interactions.
While for introverts it can be a saving grace. Especially for people with social anxiety and
other similar disorders, online communication can be a powerful tool to both develop
communication skills, and become more comfortable with social interactions. Because of this
we must say that the overall impact of the internet on our social lives has also been positive.

Since we found the impacts on education, social interactions, and media to be positive, we
can conclude that the impact of daily internet use on our lives has been mostly positive,
although we will need to work to overcome the challenges that this (not so new anymore)
technology has brought us.
