In this day and age, while a large proportion of people save their personal information on companies and organizations through the Internet, others believe that there are some drawbacks. From my point of view, I think the benefits of this outweigh the disadvantages.
On the other hand, helding personal information by internet organizations is an important innovation of the digital world. It is extremely convenient that individuals can add all their necessary information on their smartphone instead of paper. For instance, the Vietnamese government recently required inhabitants to use the app VnID which includes information of each individual as an ID card so that people do not have to bring a lot of paper about their information like before. Another advantage is that the online systems are set up to divide information impressively that is prone to find information. This helps individuals a lot to save time on finding and dividing.
On the one hand, the Internet includes many websites and services from various companies and not all of them are safe. Some individuals’ information may be hacked, this will release those secret information and can affect victims negatively. For example, most people are saving their property in a bank account but there are still some situations where people are hacked, which leads to losing the money in the bank account. In addition, some websites or apps are designed for people to save information about their life such as Facebook, Instagram, and Daily Diary, but in some case that occure Internet or system error, users may lose their memorable memories that they saved.
In conclusion, although helding personal individual’s information on the Internet has some disadvantages, there are more advantages that are necessary and convenient for people.
