Question

short eassay misuse of internet

Answer 1

now a days internet is use It would be difficult, if not impossible to imagine existence without the World Wide Web.  It is so very much a part of our daily lives.  We take it for granted.   Equally, not many of us are aware or even care to educate ourselves about the genesis of this indispensable part of our existence.  Efforts began in Western, particularly US, Universities in the 1950s and 1960s to link computers, catalog libraries and later for military operations.  The World Wide Web, as we know it today, is perhaps quarter of a century old.Existence without the World Wide Web is indeed unimaginable today.  More important, should this public good suddenly not be available any longer, the destabilization and chaos that would ensue would also be difficult to imagine.Worldwide, there are over two billion subscribers.  Around 40% of the world’s over 7-billion population has an internet connection today.  It was less than 1% two decades ago.   On balance, most assessments of the internet would be extremely positive.  The use of communication technology by ISIS or ISIL, the unwanted child of a neglected occupation, that of Iraq in 2003 has, however, set alarm bells ringing.   The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), is the first terrorist group that has grown up on the internet, that is exploiting the power of the web and poses an unprecedented danger to the world.  Unlike other terrorist groups, it has both the ability to hold territory and the aspiration to run institutions of the State.  It uses messaging and social media services such as twitter, Facebook and WhatsApp to recruit, disseminate its message and spread terror.We in India need to be clear about where we started, where we are today and where we are headed.  When we were preparing for the World Summit on Information Society (WSIS-I) in 2003 in Geneva, India’s internet penetration was less than 2%.  Our total penetration today is still less than 20%.  We add 5 million internet users every month and our total of 200 million is likely to increase to 500 million internet subscribers by 2018.The Internet is an indispensable tool for socio-economic development.  All nations have benefitted from its rapid growth and expansion in the past two decades. The government of Prime Minister Modi has launched a Digital India campaign, which is gaining traction. The Modi government’s Digital India campaign is audaciously ambitious.  The Modi government plans to expand rural internet coverage to 250,000 villages by 2017 from the existing 130,000 in two years.  150,000 post offices will be transformed into multi-utility centres (providing a range of government services, banking for instance, and not just postal services).  Some 250,000 government schools will get broadband and free WiFi and all schoolbooks will have e-versions.India’s 200 million internet users are set to cross the half billion mark by 2017.   India will have one of the largest numbers of users in the world.
