Dangers across the internet

Computers also have some negative aspects towards the community Albert Einstein once quoted

"I fear the day when the technology overlaps with our humanity. The world will only have a generation of idiots." this is due to abuse of technology, some people may use the internet to cyber bully people sending threats and all types of anti-social behaviour, there are however, methods of removing these people to avoid communication such as 'blocking' them if it's occuring on a Social Network site such as Facebook.

There are also risk of catching viruses on your computer, this is very dangerous as if you have any important documents such as bank details they can be accessed with ease, however this can be avoided by simply having a anti-virus detector to not only remove viruses but detect which sites contain unreliable sources preventing you from obtaining a virus.

The internet is worldwide, therefore you MUST be cautious towards who you communicate with, almost anyone in a society could access the internet, this means that there are people with concerning criminal behaviour habbits such as peadophiles and you wouldn't be aware that you're talking to them, there has been many disturbing cases in the past however, as people become more educated on being cautious and do not meet up with absolute strangers then this situation could be avoided, plus with the 'blocking' system you can avoid communication with suspicious characters.

Also there are some ignorant people on the internet that may be less considerate to people leading them to 'cyber bully' people weaker than them, this is a bad aspect of computing as it makes the victim feel uncomfortable with themselves if they are bullied, however the internet also provides online services for people that are being bullied or need someone to talk to.
