INTERNET
Internet is a global
wide area network
that connects
computer systems
across the world.
 Internet is a very
powerful worldwide
instrument, which
serves as a good
source for research
work and learning.
 It generates current
information, facts-
finding, and is the most
outstanding invention in
the area of
communication in the
history of human race.
Advantages of
using internet
for research
purposes
1. Easy Communication:
It is very easy to access
and at the same time
saves time thereby
allowing an individual to
manager his/her resources
better and effectively.
 2. Comparatively
Inexpensive and Quick
Dispersion of Information:
The Internet creates a
comparatively inexpensive
avenue for releasing
information and articles.
 3. Wealth of Information:
Many use the Internet to
gather lots of very useful
academic information for
research purposes; and the
information contained on the
Internet can be useful for
academic research.
4. Sending E-mail Messages and
Receiving Feedbacks:
With the help of the Internet
the user could send e-mails to
colleagues, friends, co-workers
etc, either to get more
information from them or pass
on the acquired information to
them.
Disadvantages
of using internet
for research
purposes
1. It provides a huge amount
of information thereby
causing information
overload. In due course, one
can easily get confused with
this infinite amount of
titles, texts and abstracts.
 2. Most information in the
Internet does not go through a
review process. Anyone can
publish on the web, without
passing the content through an
editor. Pages might be written
by an expert on the topic, or
even a child, or not efficient
contributor.
 3. Theft of personal information and
misuse of this information is in
abundance. In this regard from time to
time people use someone’s
information and research materials
and pass it off as their own work. Also,
Spamming, which is the process of
sending unwanted or junk e-mails in
bulk, which provide no purpose and
consequently hinder the entire system.
  4. Virus threat.
Virus is a program that interrupts
the normal functioning of the
computer systems. Computers that
are attached to internet are more
likely to be attacked by virus. In due
course, this attack could result to
hard disk crashing, thereby causing
a big disaster on the computer.
 5. Information on the
Internet is not organized;
for example too many web
pages for any single
directory services and fees
are often charged for
access to specialized
information.
*ONLINE SAFETY AND SECURITY,
ETHICS AND NETIQUETTE
ONLINE SAFETY AND SECURITY –
defines how you are going to keep
yourself safe while surfing the web
ONLINE ETHICS – focuses on the
acceptable use of online resources
in an online environment.
 Online etiquette is the correct or
acceptable way of communicating or
behaving on the Internet.
NETIQUETTE- IS A COMBINATION OF
THE WORDS “NET” (FROM
