Internet: Use or Misuse? (Week 2)

-


 Internet is the networks of network where users can get access to a wide array of resources by requesting it from the server computers. It is a group of interconnected computers where computers act as server or client, and client computers request resources to the server computers. In the days of pandemic, the Internet has really become a life saver for us students as we can study our regular courses by staying at our homes being completely safe. So I think that Internet is also one of the necessities of our life. It has become an indivisible aspect of our life, without which the life becomes more difficult. But I also truly believe that some users in the Internet are over-exploiting it by wasting their precious hours starring at the digital screen seeing just anything.

 Internet has really become an aspect of our life because life without it seems to be quite harsh in today’s day. According to a recent survey, 59% of the global population have access to the Internet, which means that more than half of the people in this world are using Internet for various purposes. We all know hundreds of people who have made their identity on the Internet by demonstrating their talents in this largest platform of the world like publishing blogs, making videos and showcasing various other kinds of talent. It facilitates us by providing online courses, window shopping, business meetings, Office conferences etc. and important online facilities like e-governance, e-commerce, e-banking etc. are also possible only when one is facilitated with the Internet. But we are also well aware of countless number of crimes that occur due to Internet such as stalking, identity theft, hacking, software piracy etc. which are collectively known as cyber-crime. Millions of people in the world are utilizing their time learning many things, communicating with each other, and entertaining oneself all because of Internet. But again many people are committing crimes knowingly or unintentionally using the Internet. So I think that Internet is today’s need unless it is misused or over-exploited causing time waste. To encapsulate this, we can say that the Internet has become a need of today’s era which has been quite useful for people at both sides of the law.

The Unwanted Parcel

     It was a snowy Saturday morning in the chilly cold month of December somewhere in Dehradun, which was about 241.4 km from Delhi, capital of India. I came here all the way from Lalitpur, Nepal with my parents to travel around Dehradun, a popular tourist destination of India. We also had a plan to visit a Medical College named Dehradun College of Medical Sciences, a renowned college of India, for me to study MBBS in it the following year as I was studying in grade 12 that year. We had rented a small house that belonged to some local rich man. The house was a kilometer away from the college hostel, and we stayed there as we could not find any suitable lodges in the town and those available were quite uncomfortable and dirty. It had been 3 days since we got here. My mother had just ended a phone call with my maternal grandparents, who were in Nepal. They were quite upset that they could not come along with us as the winter in Dehradun was quite unbearable and they w...

Post Class Reflection: Week 8

Today, on 2 nd September, 2020, we attended one more English Class. I took today’s class with same joy and excitement like the previous classes. There were 2 very interesting presentations lined up for today which made us happier. All of us were eager to begin today’s class and so were the presenters to present their presentations.   The class began with two of my friends presenting on a short story named “Mr. Know All” written by William Somerset Maugham. This was a very interesting story that was presented in an even more fascinating technique. This story deals with the theme of “ Never judge a book by its cover” , with the mentality of people who still carry thoughts of racism. The story tells us that the outer appearance could never unveil the inner reality. The various aspects of this story were presented by the presenters such as the racism that had been shown within the story and various other angles of the story that made it even clearer.     After this, ...

Post Class Reflection: Week 6

  “Knowledge is a treasure that follows its owner everywhere.” So with this positive note, I would like to begin post class reflection of today’s English class, which was as spell binding as the previous classes. One and half hours of learning with equally interesting interactions and discussions with Eak sir was all I needed to write this blog. Today we mainly discussed on Technical Communications part, where we learnt how to write “Incident Reports” and “Lab Reports”.   Firstly few of my friends presented on “Incident Reports”. It was a type of report which was written by the observer of some kind of incident especially damage of physical property or some kind of mishap. These kinds of reports had to answer all types of Wh-questions i.e. what, where, when, etc. regarding that incident such as place, time, cause, effect and damage caused. A reader of the incident report had to understand the entire scenario of the incident and its effects. It had to be completely different...
