Pros and cons of the web

As with most things in life, the Internet has its positive and negative aspects. The web is one of the most promising phenomena ever, but that does not make it fool-proof. In fact, the same positive aspects that make it a wonder are often the very same things that have been abused.

For starters, there’s the issue between connectivity and privacy. The web is all about getting you connected and publishing your thoughts and ideas to the world. But this cannot happen without sacrificing your privacy and possibly foregoing your anonymity. Then there’s the debate about freedom of speech and censorship. Who dictates what one should and should not say online?

The list goes on and on. What do you think about the web? What are its pros and cons?
