1) The Internet is the largest source of information. Answer to any possible question can be found there. Apart from that, the Internet stores everything one might need. Books, movies, music, pictures, and so on.
2) The Internet is a good educational platform. Online education is not an uncommon thing anymore. Thanks to the Internet, people can choose both what to learn and where to learn. We can join a webinar or sign up for a course taught by a teacher from another country. Apart from that, the Internet is full of free courses and educational websites.

Disadvantages of the Internet
1) The abundance of all the information one can find on the Internet, sometimes makes it really difficult to find the right information. In this case, the best thing is to use reliable and official websites.
2) The Internet unites people, indeed. Unfortunately, some people spend too much time on social networks forgetting about face-to-face communication. Social networks and other online services will never replace communication in real life. That is why they should be used within reasonable limits.
3) When using the Internet, do not forget about safety. As there are people who work towards the Internet safety, there are people who work towards hacking into other people’s computers to steal their personal data.
