Today I am going to write about common issue related to technology that rises when some critical issues takes place in the society.
In today’s modern world as we are moving forward in the field of technology, we came across many new technologies every now and then. Everyday we came across many new technologies that has its own pros and cons. So, the journey of one such great technology started from 1 january,1983 called internet. As we all know everything in the life that we use in today’s world has its own pros and cons (advantages and disadvantages). When the technology is invented and tested for the first time some people may find good for their use and some may find pathetic to use.
In modern world internet is the biggest gift given to the society. Since Internet is being widely used in every part of the world and yes this technology really proved to be a golden bird of the cyber community. Today many leading companies working on providing the service of internet called INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS(ISP’s). As, I said earlier everything that has advantages also have disadvantages along with it. Now, after the introduction of this golden technology ,I would like to to reflect some light on advantages and disadvantages of internet bans. Internet bans are like blocking or restricting information access from the server. In 2017 India imposed the highest number of Internet bans in the world as there were total 55 instances of internet ban. In January,2019 Tripura government bans the internet for two days due to protest against the citizenship ammendmend bill. This was the second internet shutdown while first was during the Pulwama attack.
Now if we talk about the pros of internet bans ,So there are many pros like it limits the criminal activities like phishing of data and many illegal activities that may give rise to terrorism and one of the greatest factor for the society that is safety of children,childrens don’t know what is appropriate for them and what is inappropriate. So, by internet bans children safety is under control and keep them away from unethical activities that may harm theirs’d present and as well as future. By internet ban we can protect our privacy, raise safety standards for highly confidential data. Past year we came across Shutdown of torrents due to leakage of copyrighted data that might be unethical to leak for free for use and yes Internet bans also helps in protecting the copyrighted data as it restricts the sharing. Hence if we are having advantages of something then we have disadvantages too.
If you ask from today’s generation then they have many disadvantages of internet bans, because nowadays internet is helping them a lot, not only youngsters are benefited but senior’s citizens too. Indian citizen now has become very use to internet, They can live without water for one hour but if internet gets disconnected then it is the starting of disasters,means they need internet every then and now.disadvantages of internet bans like we may not able to access the information from which we can learn new skills to develop our personality, through internet we can develop many skills, but if internet bans take place then we may fail to access those facilities.
Hence, internet bans usually take place due to some critical issues in the society. For the suppression of cyber violence internet bans are done by the government. But internet is making the life too easy for the people so nowadays Internet proved to be a boon for the society.
