How is my letter?
Some people believe today that everyone has a right to access to the Internet and that governments should provide this access for free. Other people believe that access to the internet is not a right and should be paid for like other services.
Discuss both these views and give your opinion
Since the internet was born in the 4.0 Technological Age, it has brought on some significant benefits for individuals and governments as well. In recent years, there is a proposed question is whether should governments provide freely the Internet for residents and people who are comfortable accessing the Internet. This is not acceptable by some people and they believe that this access should be paid. In this essay, I will discuss these sides of this argument, and also give my personal opinion.
On the one hand, free access to the internet has some positive aspects that people should concern. First, this will help people have a lot of chances to find good information. This means that citizens who have no perfect condition to pay the fees for this access will easy to read the daily news or information which serves for their own demands such as information of weather forecast, movies, studies, newspapers, etc. Thus, It is easy to understand clearly how the residential circumstances anywhere are when the government allows these people have accessed the internet freely. This means that some countries which are unstable in political and social problems will examine their residents based on information that whom share on social networking. For Example, illegal entry country of emigrants into other countries often occurs all over the world. This will be easy to control if the government follows this information on social media.
On the other hand, this free access also has some negative factors significantly. One of the worst drawbacks is this free access makes big opportunities for cybercriminals. This means that government has to deal with challenges to capture the cybercriminals who can break into the internet systems to attack individuals and groups that they want. Another main reason, it is very convenient that residents take advantage of social networking to propaganda the bad cultures to other residents. In fact, racism and religious discrimination often occur on social networking like Facebook and Twister. This separate belief of residents among people around the world and will cause some bad elements.
In conclusion, although there are some negative aspects for government to allow people to access the internet freely, the above of some good factors could also be considered carefully. Personally, I think that this free access should be permitted to residents. Besides, the government should strictly manage resident’s access.
