Limiting internet access
What will happen if someone has his own gun and can use it any time without any control? The discovery of the Internet transferred the world in very advanced steps towards modern technology. The Internet was designed to transfer information from one area to another in the United States by the military in 1969. The first use of the Internet was not wide until the early nineties of the twentieth century. It was possible to use the Internet and it existed in nearly a decade. People now have started using the internet for many and different reasons. Many problems have arisen because of the bad use of the Internet these days, making control of the Internet and limiting its use is very important. Losing time, money and misuse of internet are very common at the present time.
First of all, we often hear about drug and alcohol addiction but in the twenty-first century, we have heard about addiction to the Internet and electronic games. Some people spend hours, even days using Internet and we read or heard about death of persons due to use of Internet. Limiting use of internet may help to solve such problems, which affect not only businesses also families, individuals and the society.

Next, Internet use by the staff during work was one of the most important factors to loss of some companies. The preoccupation of the employees by using the Internet to download songs or movies or enter chat rooms it may cause a disaster to the company. According to Stafford Companies are really face this problems every day many employees going to MySpace or other websites because they don’t feel that using internet at home is save because of wives or kids(2007, para.3). Many companies use the internet to help in completing the work quickly and accurately, not for personal use. Thus, the limiting of Internet access at work is becoming very important to save the company form losing its money.
Finally, misuse of internet has become very common. People started to use internet to commit their crimes. Terrorists depend on internet to deliver their plans and ideas. ”Access to a known pornographic site may be blocked completely” ( 2007, para. 6). Every user of the Internet is at risk either through fraud or through identity theft of information not to mention the risk to young Internet users. Thus, controlling the Internet will help to protect people from misuse of internet.
Opponents claim that limiting internet access is against human rights. However, this argument dose not covers the whole problem. In fact people want to save their money, time and also the want to be sure that their children wont be at risk when the serve the internet. It is not normal to give any one a gun with a explaining the danger of that gun and what are the results if he misuse it and It must be the same thing with internet. Internet is like any harmful weapon. If we do not control it or if we do not come up with a law to prevent the danger that internet may cause that would be like every one of us carrying his gun in his hand and have the right to fire any where at any time. Therefore, limiting internet access is the only way to protect our people an communities the danger of high technology crimes.

In conclusion, limiting internet access because of losing time, money or the misuse of it is not against the human rights. Freedom ends when we misuse it. Governments should play its roles to control the misuse of the internet and companies should limit the internet access in order to help save people’s righs.
