Everyone’s privacy is greatly harmed by the internet. Because all people show their information in internet

That's the users' fault. Also, your statement is a gross generalisation. Not "all people" show their information. The user always has discretion over whether or not they want to share their information, and how much they want to share.

Many people are just addicted to the internet. They can’t stop browsing, they are hooked on gaming and they spend too much time indoors. Instead of going out for a walk or play outside, they sit behind their computers for hours.

The internet has allowed big companies to capture a lot of business online while smaller, local companies have lost out. And because the internet makes it easier to get work done abroad, jobs have left many western countries for low-wage countries abroad.

The great thing about the internet is the large number of sources of information. You can easily cross-check information on various independent websites increasing the likelihood it is correct. The same cannot be said for what one student hears from one teacher.

I am disagree with this idea because Internet firstly gives us information and communication each other. For example, People browse internet for information. They love to browse various search engines like Google, Yahoo to know about any necessary news. Also they love to browse websites like Wikipedia which is a complete encyclopedia on internet. in additional Social networking is a very nice medium to communicate with friend and family members. There are lots of social networking websites like Facebook, Orkut, and Bebo which is heavily consumed by users for connecting with friends.

nothing compares with studying in class. in online education we don't know whether there is sitting a teacher or someone else, or even robot.... also in online education you can not pay attention to student reactions, attitude to the lesson and etc.

No one is saying the internet is definitely better than traditional education, and that people should turn to the internet as their one source of information. At the end of the day, however, the accumulated information of billions of people far outweighs that of one teacher. Because there are so many independent sources of information on the internet, it is far easier to determine what information is credibly and what isn't. In a classroom you can't check information in this way, you just have to listen to what one person tells you.

The internet by itself isn't the one doing the harm, it's the individual users that cause the harm. Technology is a tool. All it does is amplifies the capabilities of the user, which means that people who use it in an altruistic manner like posting research information or having a forum for exchanging ideas can use the internet to have access to more people's ideas. On the other hand, it allows malicious hackers to send harmful software that can steal your personal information. Don't blame the technology, blame the person that uses it.
