MISUSES OF INTERNET:
1. E-Mail spamming
When we talk about electronic spam, we are talking about electronic junk mail or junk newsgroup postings. A major negative effect of electronic spam is that it uses up a lot of network bandwidth.
Moreover, it may include malware in the form of scripts or other executable attachments. On viewing such e-mails or downloading the attachments, you might unknowingly invite viruses to enter into your system and harm it.
2. The well of Negativity
Yes. The internet offers you everything you can possibly think of searching. If it provides you information you need for your school project, it also provides you information that will have a negative influence on you.
3. Pranksters
Internet is also a haven for pranksters. It is really easy to play pranks without being caught.
4. Time Wastage
Time waits for none. We tend to forget this fact. It happens with almost all of us. You need to use the web urgently because you need to complete a task and the internet is irrefutably the fastest way to find what you are looking for.
You connect your laptop to the web all the while thinking about your task and what you need to do.
As soon as the home page opens on your computer screen, an advertisement of an online shopping site pops up. You are tempted to visit the site but you stop for a moment, thinking about the task at hand but then you visit the site anyway. After all, just looking at the site won’t do any harm.
Before you know it, you are looking at items one after the other as minutes fly by. Online games, social networking sites, online shopping sites, chat rooms, etc. the list is endless.
For a person who is looking to eliminate boredom, internet is the best thing he can come across!
5. Posting fake advertisements
Internet is the easiest way to reach out to the people. Some people use this to fulfil their own evil intentions.
6. Cyber Bullying
Another misuse of the internet is cyber bullying. People make fake profiles on social networking sites and email ids so that they can anonymously threaten a person.
7. Piracy
Piracy is the act of illegally copying or downloading copyrighted material. People commit piracy because it saves money at their end. However, the loss suffered by the owners is neglected. It’s their piece of creation and they deserve to be rewarded for it.
8. Identity Theft
Yes! Internet steals your ID. First, our information is more easily accessible to the criminals through the malware software we all fall victims of.
Second and more importantly, whatever we put up on social media websites is accessible to a lot of people.
