The Internet

Since its first appearance some decades ago, the Internet has dramatically changed our lives. Yet, it has also brought a lot of debate about its advantages and disadvantages. Many arguments have been given to prove that this kind of mass media is the fastest, the cheapest, most convenient, in other words, the most effective of all. Few people can doubt the fact.

First of all, for many people the Internet has become a true (and often the only one) way of communication. In the past, people used to be dependent on conventional mailing system or telephone that were rather expensive, inconvenient and time-consuming. Nowadays you can get to any place on any continent and have a talk with a person you need.

Now no one can deny that due to the Internet people in modern society do have an easy access^[1] to the latest news, to the information that has been hidden from many of us. The worlds of trade, economy, as well as the worlds of science, culture, sports and entertainment have got a channel through which they can share their achievements, discuss their victories and defeats. The speed of this technology is really incredible. In fact, you can get the necessary data in practically no time, though there is, certainly, a lot of information in the world that is not open to the public. Equally important the Internet is in the field of advertising  and shopping. Customers nowdays can easily deliver transactions from home with help of a computer and make a payment by using the Internet banking service.

Some people mention possible threats and other disadvantages of the Internet. One of the serious problems, psychologists speak of, is an individual’s isolation within the society. Doctors stress the fact that more and more people, especially teens, mix up real life and their online existence. There are other problems connected with the Internet: children and unsuitable sites, criminals and the online data that might help them to commit crimes etc. All these facts are true. However, the 21st century is definitely the epoch of the Internet and our life depends much on it.

1. The Internet came to existence        

1. ten years ago        c) some time ago
2. in the 21st century        d) about ten years ago

2. The Internet has        changed people’s life style.

1. seriously        c) not practically
2. slightly           d) not particularly

3. Most people        the fact that the Internet facilitates our access to different information.

1. approve of        c) admit
2. disagree with                                          d) are not sure of

4. It is obvious that the Internet is        

1. more reliable than the other ways of mass media
2. not a perfect kind of mass media
3. mostly spread in the field of advertising and shopping
4. the only true way of communication.

2. Read the text and match its paragraphs (1—4) with their titles (a—e). There is one title you don't have to use. Put your answers to the answer sheet.

1. The Internet and Shopping
2. A Habit Leading to Isolation
3. A Threat to Firms and Companies
4. The Possibilities of the Net
5. Advantages and Disadvantages of the Internet

1. The Internet has lots of users. It has lately become extremely popular and is being applied by people of all ages and professions. With its help you can easily get the information you need for academic studies as well as for other purposes, shopping, for example. Besides you can get in touch with your friends in no time and socialize as long as you like. The Internet is also a source of entertainment. You can play games, download films and music either for free or at a very low price.
2. When you work on the computer, you are aware of all these advantages. But have you ever thought that for some people the same things may lead to great problems? Instead of going out to meet friends and relatives, such individuals prefer to stay at home and sit before their computers for hours often just wasting time. These people have little or no exercise and some of them even develop computer dependence. They prefer to chat online and have difficulties in real communication often leading to loneliness and psychological problems.

3. Thus we have to agree that the world of the Internet is not so perfect as it seems to be and as the advertisements say. It is true that on the Net the latest news and the information you need is available to you when you are at home at any time. This is very convenient and fast. But with so much information available, it can take you quite a while to find what you really need. Besides there is so much advertising instead of real facts and true information. On the other hand, online shopping helps to save both time and money but often leads to the result you did not expect.

4. Nevertheless millions of people enjoy using the Internet. It’s real fun to play computer games, to find new friends and to chat with old ones. But these are not the things people should do during their working hours. Yet, many Internet users do them. Computers have been installed in a great number of offices and it is next to impossible to make sure that all people there use their time properly. However, we all understand that modern life is not possible without the Internet.
