We often hear about the negative aspects of the internet and online activity, and they are all valid. But for me, the positives outweigh those negatives. I am 64 and have been "online" for at least 30 years now. These are a few of the positives for me:
Connection with family and friends, especially when the connections cannot be in person.
Educational - the internet has opened up huge opportunities for learning, through online study, easy access to information, research studies, and many free options for one to further their learning.
Access to other countries and cultures - we can access text, videos, photos, music etc, and get an immersive impression of a particular country or culture. Those of us who cannot afford to travel, can see the wonders of our world, without leaving home.
The Arts are accessible and affordable. We have access to music, television shows, movies, concerts and shows, museums and art galleries.
What positives would you ad to the list?
