At the wake of advanced computer technologies and sophisticated internet facilities have been seen as the greatest achievements of human race because these advancements in computer technologies and internet help other disciplines to become more simple in terms of data collection, process and analysis. It has been considered as a boon so far and there no doubt that it is a boon but the adverse effects of internet shouldn't be neglected.
Identity theft is one of the most significant downfall of internet as the risk is too huge. Many individuals and big companies have lost billions of money as compensation to the hackers.
Spreading hatred and kindling violence is another risk the whole world is facing now and this shouldn't be limited to the ISIS alone because there is extremism in all the aspects of human life. Regionalism, religious terrorism, racial remarks etc are as heavy as ISIS in terms of hatred and violence.
Now that the internet is available in the palms of everyone in the world in the form of their mobile phones, anyone can talk anything and post it in internet, whether it makes sense or no sense because there is no one to sensor it and filter it before anyone can upload it.
The companies that provide should look at the bigger picture by making sure that their customers are protected from identity theft, hate speeches etc.
The role of individual websites, especially banks, government agencies that maintain the confidential data of people should work in future and not in past by analysing all the possible means of security breach and in the event of a security breach, the deletion of the stolen data.
Individuals too have their responsibility in maintaining their data, thoughts and beliefs safe by not yielding to any online temptation. This way we can still have internet as a boon.
