Internet allows the sexual predator to pose as somebody else, giving them the
tools to create new identities, thus providing them with easier targets.
6.Privacy
The concern of privacy is one that is fraught with peril. The Internet takes
away an awful lot of privacy, leaving most of your dirty laundry exposed in front of the
whole world. Many computer hackers are able to sift through your profile with relative
ease, leaving you to potentially be victimized in some fashion.
Computer hackers tend to be extremely intelligent, but opt to use their gift for
negative purposes. This seems to be a part of the paradox of our times.
7.Addiction
The Internet houses many forums for the addictive personality to find.
Gambling is much easier when you can do it from the comfort of your own house.
The Internet itself is addictive, with so many sites that beckon our unbridled attention.
Students are becoming slaves to the Internet, and it just keeps on changing the
game, forcing people to keep up, thus enabling their addictive personality.
8.Inactivity
Inactivity is another negative effect of the Internet. Many students are stuck on
computers all day, and then use them for fun all night. This leads to inactivity and
inertia. Without proper exercise, obesity rates may rise, and other health problems
may occur as well. The Internet is helping to create a sedentary lifestyle.
9.Sleep
Many students are running on little sleep these days. The Internet is keeping
them up later, as they check for emails, texts, social media updates, and late night
sports scores, or other things. Technology is leaving many students short on sleep,
and this is a very negative effect of the Internet.
