Abstract
The internet has made the lives of society in general, easier. The only question is, what are we giving up and sacrificing in order to have this luxury? It is undeniable that there are many negative aspects of the internet, and that they affect our lives daily. However, what people tend to overlook is the effect it is having on our businesses. By cutting out many social activities and introducing unethical principals into people's lives, it is in turn, hurting businesses. It has encompassed smart individuals to the point of addiction, that they now neglect their responsibilities. This is all besides the fact that companies rely on it to run their operations far more than they should and that it has cost many people their jobs, for their profession is now obsolete or because the competition was too great. Therefore, I believe it is up to society as a whole to do something about these problems and come up with a solution.
