The importance of the internet in my life

The internet was a big step in technological development.
Using the internet we can encounter any advantages and disadvantages.
With,s use I san, highlight some advantages such as various forms of communication, for example: MSN, Facebook, Skype and email. These examples help you communicate with others faster and easier.
Also the level of information and culture has become more valuable, because the are various means of consultation. Wikipedia and Google Earth are good examples where we can find several places and people virtually.
In my own case, I use the internet frequently, both personally and professionally.
For example, making the IRS without having to move me to the tax offices, checking my bank accounts, speaking through Facebook with family and friends who are more distant.
At a professional level, I use the net to search for books and information in which are requests by readers who come to us daily.
Unfortunately, the internet also has its disadvantages.
Not all the information supplied is from credible sources, leading us sometimes in error, perhaps the biggest drawback is the ease of access of children to the net, which leads them to navigate through unwanted sites.
Fortunately, there are tools that allow the blocking of these sites.
In short, the internet is a very useful and important tool in our lives.
