We can buy whatever we want by just a single click on internet.Scientist communicate with their other colleagues and share researches online.

On the other hand Internet also has as many disadvantages as advantages.Students waste their time by playing games,chatting online and sometimes they look for websites which have unsuitable data for them.People sometimes misuse internet in offices and do unnecessary chatting and do not concentrate on their work which affects company's productivity.Sometimes we think we are talking to a friendly person on social networking site but that can be a dangerous stranger.Many a times there are network and connection problems with internet which affects work.It is is also difficult for old people to understand this new technology and use it.
