The Internet does more harm than good.

Sorry for my lateness too, I have been really busy lately. Please pardon me. I shall start with my rebuttals first too. RR 01: What you think might not be the truth, like I said, most people will try to be 'effecient' in their way and only search from one source. Right, information are like treasures hidden in the Internet, but how many people will really spend the time to 'unearth' them? While it is true that no pain equals to no gain, a lot of people wants to have gain but do not want to have pain. This is the mindset of most people, thus it is highly unlikely for them to search from multiple sources to get the correct information. RR 02: With deeper understanding, one can agree with me that what you said is unreasonable. You said the solution to prevent or at least reduce cyber bullying is to make up with them. However, there is a huge doubt over here, if that is the solution, why does cyberbullying still happen so frequently despite the fact that very few actions were taken for cyber bullying issues. Thus, it can be proven that what you said is misleading. RR 03: It is true that games like Minecraft is beneficial to those who plays them with control. It must be noted, however, that not a lot of people play games without being addicted. If you have read my argument, you would have noticed that game addictions can be as addictive as drug addictions. Drugs are strongly prohibited in many countries and yet there as been a lot of cases related to drug addiction. Games on the other hand are not so strongly prohibited, thus it can be inferred that gaming addiction could be more than drug addiction which is terrifying. RR 04: " Sticking with some particular books won't help them at all" It can be inferred from this statement that you regard books as though they are worthless. It must be noted that reading some books repeatedly can allow a greater understanding of the information in the book as not 100% of the book's information will be retained in a person's mind. And of course, successful people will read a lot of different books and not just one book in their life. Thus, you statement can be regarded as inaccurate. RR 05: If a third world country have access to Internet and Internet connections, then why can't they afford a doctor or why can't the youths of the third world countries afford a education that specialize in medical issues? Many people might say that third world countries might not have enough or more advanced schools, however, if the government of a third world country can afford electronic devices for most people in his country, then why can't he afford to renovate a school? Thus, you point on medical issues is not clearly explained. RR 06: He can raise a question on the medicine effects of course. Or for example the time that the medicine is to be consumed. RR 07: The sad news is in a modern world now, not many are honest, thus, the Internet is to be blamed for pornography as almost no actions were taken against it. RR 08: We must keep in mind that the Internet is not only used for searching information, it is also used for entertainment. Therefore, most of the time a person will spend might be in the Internet playing games. RR 09: Everything has a dark side, online marketing could potentially ruin a person's life. For example, there may be frauds selling nothing at the Internet but pretending to sell items. Once you buy from them, you will lose money even after they are arrested as there is a high likelihood that they spent the money. This incident can be minor or major depending on the cost of the item that you 'bought'. RR 10: Sometimes, a company's information can be leaked due to the human error or Internet error and maybe due the hacking. This will lead to a decreased profit of a company and cheating, both of which could shut down a company if not handled properly. Okay, I agree with most of your point on the impact Internet has on business, however this is just one side of the Internet that is purely beneficial , there are also a lot of negative effects the Internet can have. So let be initiate my argument. Point 1: Subliminal messages. Subliminal messages are a very dangerous threat in the Internet. For those of you who don't know what is subliminal programming, here's the definition, "(marketing) a message passed to the human mind without the mind being consciously aware of it, as, for example, in advertising" This is stated in the Collins dictionary. Not just in advertising, subliminal messages are present in many games, movies, and even some educational videos. Subliminal messages are hard to detect as they are only unconsciously processed. So it can be said that subliminal messages is very hard to prevent. The Internet can be a huge place for subliminal messages. Subliminal messages can control you and change you even without you realizing it. A great example would be the popular song by queen in the late 19th century. Queen's popular song, another one bites the dust, contains a subliminal message. The reason why a song is popular can be a result of subliminal messages. Subliminal messages in songs is also known as backmasking. When the song another one bites the dust is played backwards, one can hear the Queen singing " It is fun to smoke marijuana!" After a period of time, marijuana abuse have increased drastically. Now many may say that it is just a coincidence. However, is it too much of a coincidence? Even popular singers like Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber have subliminal messages in their songs. Now this is only about songs. A unexpected cartoon programmer also has subliminal messages. The cartoon company is Disney. A lot of Disney's movies have subliminal messages. Now, Disney movies are mostly watched by children, if adults can be influenced, what about children? If you think that my information is not accurate, you can surf the Internet for this, there are multiple sources regarding this issues. Therefore, it can be concluded that subliminal messages could be found in the Internet even if we are not aware of it. In conclusion, with deeper analysis, one will surely agree with me that the Internet do more harm than good and it is only up to us to use the positive side of the Internet and try our best to reduce the negative effects of the Internet.
