I was just thinking about it a a few minutes ago. The Internet has certainly created a gargantuan crater into modern terms. With the Internet, major attributions to technology and finance has developed at an amazing rate, possibly more than a hundred years has been put through. It is to be highlighted, that in a mere 10+ years, the Internet has modernized us in such a manner that we have possibly taken note of our new generations to adapt to what we are using now. Several new careers such as bloggers and stuff will become increasingly popular. People have turned into freaking billionaires with the Internet.

However, you take the negative impacts into what we observe now. The society of youth, of adolescence, has developed a sense of freedom of environment into being racist and streaming with creative vulgars. The Internet has led to the increasingly frustrating results of new problems that have grown to become the abhorrence of older generations. The impact has been so large that negativity streams in, not as drips, but as huge masses of water that crushes in, with the youth society being the damn.

One simple question.

Has the Internet resulted in more bad than good, or more good than bad in terms of overall change and impact?

I think it's resulted in more good. Think about all the uses of the internet, like watching videos, awesome forum like this one, and being able to look up word quickly and their definition, rather than having to flip through a dictionary. Personally, it has helped me in a big way, because a lot of people at my school were assholes, and shit like verbal bullying and psychological bullying there was common, and I was on the verge of suicide because I had to deal with bullying for so long, but then I found out about internet schooling, which has worked out great for me.
There is definitely more good that the internet does, that I just can't think of at the moment.
There will always be the negatives about anything in society/life, but overall, i'd say the good of the internet, has definitely outweighed the bad.
