    The net has made things easy,fast and less tiring. Just by a click it's possible to obtain any kind of information. This is a positive change but on the other side the net has recked the morals of the current generation. Our teens spending quality time viewing pornography, uploading pornography and due to this we have a very irresponsible generation

    When computer literally exposed to public it impacted the whole society because of various websites that we can visit every now and then. Hackers are roaming around and nude photos and porn videos are everywhere. People cannot control them any longer because no matter restrictions or even investigation implies, they are still there. We only know that computer is a man made but how can we prevent the dark side of internet issues? Based on a study, internet access provides services for all people in order for them to fulfill their needs. But the influences of this sometimes drives individual to act like negative behavior that leads to a drastic insanity. Crime rate rapidly increase because of the things that they could see or watch over the internet. We should be responsible accessing internet and guide our kids on how to use it in appropriate way.

    My colleague at work once referred to the internet as a big classroom able to accommodate anyone who comes knocking. The big question is what what do you want to know when you get in? Internet is infested with all sorts of evil you can come to think of but also a great wealth of knowledge if you choose to go that path. Since we leave in a free world where everyone posts whatever he/she feels like and you cannot regulate what one chooses to upload, it is upon those who can feed on solid food-adults to guide the milk suckers on the possible negative impact of misuse of the internet content. Otherwise, however much internet might be dark, I choose to remain on it's brighter side like posting on 'The Forum Wheel' for a few dollars.

    Anything you do has it's dark side. Net has it's dark side that goes up to the moment that it can kill a human. Social media are often the most life hacking way to control a person's life. It will change everything. A huge factor of these are sharing and posting of prohibited self property such as photos, videos or documents. Net is uncontrollable and has its wide range that you have the option choose it right or use it wrong for your sake. That is the dark side of internet. It goes beyond the human capability to manipulate others virtualy.

    We do not have a very irresponsible generation due to online activity. There is no logic in such an assertion. Teenagers do not engage in online activities for the sole purpose of viewing pornography. I am sure many teenagers are interested in pornography but it is not a significant factor in their lives while some have no interest in it whatsoever. I would be very interested in viewing the source you used to obtain such information. The claim of pornography ruining society is not a new idea. Every generation finds some reason to claim pornography is harmful or dangerous. I would also like to know why you feel pornography can ruin the morals of an entire generation. Teenagers can and do make very poor decisions related to their online activities, especially social media. Adults are capable of poor decisions concerning online activity as well. The percentage of people causing harm in their lives via online activity or social media is very, very small while the vast majority do not experience negative consequences.

    You are using the phrase "dark side of the net" incorrectly. The dark web, or deep web, has nothing to do with any of your statements. The dark web is the Internet not accessible by ordinary means. No one can Google content found on the dark web because it isn't part of the normal Internet infrastructure. Websites such as The Silk Road and other sites with a desire to avoid the law are found in the dark web and most Internet users do not have the necessary knowledge to access it. Everything on the dark web is not attempting to hide illegal activity. Some users simply want to retain their privacy. Bitcoin is now a mainstream concept and people have either forgotten or never knew that Bitcoin originated in the dark web. Teenagers are often very skilled in using the Internet and computer usage in general. This is not universally true, of course, as some teenagers are quite happy to use a tablet and have no desire to learn anything more. The young people who do possess such skills are extremely capable and restricting their access to pornography would not just be pointless, it would also be impossible to achieve without locking them in a room with no online access.

    Net has great advantage and no doubt has made a lot of positive impact in our lives. Yet a lot of negativity has come with the use of internet too.

    Social media now serves as a purpose where people defraud their fellow humans. Many people fall for this as they make everything look so real. It's either they steal your money and use you for rituals where I come from or even blackmail you.

    Also, people have failed to understand that it's not everything on the Internet is true. This has brought broken marriages, relationships just because of misinterpreted pictures on the net. Things are not always as they seem.

    Lastly, if you spend all your day surfing the internet, make sure that it brings food to your table or else know that you are wasting your time.
