The Internet does more harm than good.

Thank you very much for actively participating in this debate with me so long. In fact, I have greatly enjoyed putting this effort to debate with you, too. I am also very much eager to do another with you. Well, let me finish this one at first. I am starting with my rebuttal part, as usual.Rebuttal to Note 01. You have made an important note to be read. Quite surely, the main determiner of Internets merit is the usage of computer, no doubt with that. Undoubtedly, the Internet has some harmful sides. I am also not opposing that. Also, it has some great positive sides. I am just trying to say that the Internets positive portion is so huge that the negative phase can be overlooked. I don't agree at all with that people of the world mostly make the negative sides of the Internet rather than the positive ones. Again saying, not at all.RR 01. There is the problem. You have got that. If people are not intended enough to go that far away, they will of course be harmed. Internet itself should not take this responsibility. If people do their job properly and if they are not benefited still then, at that time, Internet should be recognised as a bad medium. Otherwise, not. Yes, an item is determined by its use. Mind that knife can both be used for cutting apple or killing. The knife has been handed over to you and then it is up to you whether you use it in a proper sense or not. If you execute a murder with it, it is you who will be called bad, not the knife. Almost, each and every thing has something negative. So, will you call the entire thing bad for that particular side? No. And, I am not saying that you have lack of sense.I said, if there is some sense left in you, ................ I have used "If". Hopefully, you have that. If you have that, you need not react so strongly. They will react, who are included in this "If" factor.RR 02. Yes, indeed. actions have not been taken. If that was taken, the problem would be solved., no doubt in that. So, as soon as the actions are taken, the problem is done. Unless those are taken, the problem might predominate. I am trying to say that.RR 03. Nope, Internet addiction can also be prohibited morally. Everything cannot be banned by law. In some of the cases, you will have to do it yourself. Internet addiction is also such a case. People often sometime get addicted to medicines. Are medicines bad for us?? No!!!! Like that, people also get addicted to Internet. But for that, we cannot put a bad tag on Internet. It will be nothing but an injustice.RR 04.Please notice that I have used the word "Stick". If I said, "Particular books won't help them at all", then you could say this. But, I did never say that. I am straightforward saying that you noticed the words "Won't" and "At all". But unfortunately for me, the word "Sticking" has successfully disguised you. You did not see that. I am trying to say that if a student confines himself to 3 or 4 or 5 particular books, he won't be greatly benefited with that. He will have to search a lot more reference books to get the clearest conception. But just like as you said, people as well as students are not intended to work hard. In that regard, I want to present an easy way before them and that is Internet. Try to realise the theme of my words. RR 05. The point I wanted to make and the point you have understood have a clear distance from each other. I made the example of Bangladesh. The country has money to build up an IT center in each Union, not in every house. Moreover, building up an IT center does not need a huge sum of money for a large country like them. How can they recruit doctors? Doctors from the western countries are not interested enough to come to these third world countries. So, they have to make the best use of this option, Internet. Yes, every country should focus on health sector. But, we are talking in the context of ourselves and the country administration have to think it in a national context. They have so many sectors to focus on. Health is not the only one.RR 06. There are so many online marketing sites. Minority of them is untrustable. You have people around you who have the experience of online marketing. You can seek for help from them that which site is mostly reliable. Many things even of our real life are not reliable, let alone of Internet. So, you should use all your five senses and also, the sixth one.RR 07. Men always have a great addiction to prohibited things. Some can control themselves, some cannot. So, it is a matter of your own mentality. It completely depends upon you. Mind tells us to do many things some of which are immoral. We will have to keep ourselves aloof from Internet addiction, as we control ourselves from doing those activities.RR 08. I have already replied to Note 01!!!RR 09. Yes, hacking is done over the Internet. But, that is not irrestible. That can be resisted. Internet does not have a good and secure security system. But there is room for improvement too. The fact is not like that Internet is less secured and it can never be improved. The opportunity is there to take and we should make the best use of it. RR 10. Subliminal messages can also be done over TV as it also contains sound and picture. From the aspect of a viewer, it is bad to you or me. But, from the perspective of the saler of a product, it is not bad. So, although it has something bad, yet it cannot be considered entirely bad.Now, let me present some common merits of Internet in general:01. Educational material at all levels from pre-school to post-doctoral is available from websites. Examples range from CBeebies, through school and high-school revision guides and virtual universities, to access to top-end scholarly literature through the likes of Google Scholar. For distance education, help with homework and other assignments, self-guided learning, whiling away spare time, or just looking up more detail on an interesting fact, it has never been easier for people to access educational information at any level from anywhere. The Internet in general and the World Wide Web in particular are important enablers of both formal and informal education. 02. The low cost and nearly instantaneous sharing of ideas, knowledge, and skills has made collaborative work dramatically easier, with the help of collaborative software. Not only can a group cheaply communicate and share ideas but the wide reach of the Internet allows such groups more easily to form. An example of this is the free software movement, which has produced, among other things, Linux, Mozilla Firefox, and OpenOffice.org. Internet chat, whether using an IRC chat room, an instant messaging system, or a social networking website, allows colleagues to stay in touch in a very convenient way while working at their computers during the day. Messages can be exchanged even more quickly and conveniently than via email. These systems may allow files to be exchanged, drawings and images to be shared, or voice and video contact between team members.03. The Internet allows computer users to remotely access other computers and information stores easily, wherever they may be. They may do this with or without computer security, i.e. authentication and encryption technologies, depending on the requirements. This is encouraging new ways of working from home, collaboration and information sharing in many industries. An accountant sitting at home can audit the books of a company based in another country, on a server situated in a third country that is remotely maintained by IT specialists in a fourth. These accounts could have been created by home-working bookkeepers, in other remote locations, based on information emailed to them from offices all over the world. Some of these things were possible before the widespread use of the Internet, but the cost of private leased lines would have made many of them infeasible in practice. An office worker away from their desk, perhaps on the other side of the world on a business trip or a holiday, can access their emails, access their data using cloud computing, or open a remote desktop session into their office PC using a secure Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection on the Internet. This can give the worker complete access to all of their normal files and data, including email and other applications, while away from the office. It has been referred to among system administrators as the Virtual Private Nightmare, because it extends the secure perimeter of a corporate network into remote locations and its employees' homes.04. Many people use the World Wide Web to access news, weather and sports reports, to plan and book vacations and to pursue their personal interests. People use chat, messaging and email to make and stay in touch with friends worldwide, sometimes in the same way as some previously had pen pals. Social networking websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace have created new ways to socialize and interact. Users of these sites are able to add a wide variety of information to pages, to pursue common interests, and to connect with others. It is also possible to find existing acquaintances, to allow communication among existing groups of people. Sites like LinkedIn foster commercial and business connections. YouTube and Flickr specialize in users' videos and photographs. In conclusion, I would like to say that you also have put a great effort with your strong logics and arguments. In the concluding stage of this debate, I would like to say that Internet possesses both positive and negative sides. There are some negative sides which are quite surely noteworhy. But I do believe in the fact that Internet has some greater positive sides which are quite enough to eliminate the negative ones. So, that's all from now on. Many many thanks for everybody who have been a part and parcel of this tremendous debate.
