The dramatic increase of the internet utilization has led to a number of issues, including individual and social challenges. There are a number of measures that could be taken in order to alleviate these problems.
Over the years, the Internet has got more and more widespread throughout the world and at the same time its associate challenges have arisen. To my mind, one of the major negative points of this network is the inappropriate content that is available online. One example of these inappropriate items is the adult content such as pornography that are harmful for children. Since access to the Internet gets easier every day, the potential exposure of children to these unsuitable contents gets more likely. As a result, children might get affected by negative impacts of these items. One possible solution to this issue is to put some restriction on access to online websites based on the age of users. To some extent these restrictions could be imposed by government and in the next stage, parents can watch out their children’s activities online.
Another sort of unfavorable online content is the wrong information. There is lots of misinformation on the network that has no reference or has untrusted reference. Relying on this information might poses lots of challenges. A measure that can be taken in this regard is to look for information on trusted sources and trying to ensure the validity of data by checking them with other sources. Furthermore, it is essential to know the reference of data and to make sure of the authenticity of them.
Nevertheless, the advent of every new technology brings a number of inevitable challenges with it and it takes time to identify these issues and the solution to them.
