You should know the answer. The internet is convenient to some and might be an inconvenient for others, especially for those who work at home and for students doing their research or tasks in school. Some take advantage of the internet and became idle allowing the internet to do all the works. In particular, instead of looking for the right resources and information, they use the work of others without consent; In other words, students learn to plagiarize because they take advantage of technology the wrong way.

Using technology is indeed a great escape. Mental health has been one of the biggest issue right now, and one factor could be the excessive use of internet, the social media. People are addicted to technology and social media platforms, and for sure, the downside of being addicted is that people affect the way they view others and themselves as well. Negatively taking advantage of technology distorts the way people think and for sure is manifested in their mental health.

A lot of people tend to see this coming, yet, another biggest downside of taking advantage of technology is the crimes that are being committed online with the use of technology. Cybercrimes are one of those crimes committed online. This is not new anymore, but it is still one of the biggest problems. Through cybercrimes, people can get theft of financial card payment data, internet fraud, and email fraud with alot of victims left in the shadow with no proper knowledge.
