Response # 2 Re : The Internet

Nobody can deny the benefits of the Internet in our life. However, it is a pity for me as well as for most of my friends in the countryside. The Internet is available only in cities, therefore I cannot easily get access to it. I sometimes visit my uncle in the city on weekends, and this is a good occasion for me to explore the net. I spend most of the time wandering because I just don’t know which website is useful for me.

THE INTERNET IS AVAILABLE ONLY IN THE CITIES,
THEREFORE I CANNOT EASILY TO GET ACCESS TO IT.

People use the Internet for many purposes : education, communication, entertainment and commerce. However, the Internet has limitations. It is not only time-consuming and costly but also dangerous because of viruses and bad programs. Moreover, Internet users sometimes have to suffer various risks such as spam or electronic junk mail, and personal information leaking. So while enjoying surfing, be alert !
