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 and it was called Arpanet. “ Arpanet was created by the US Department of Defense Advanced Research Projects Darpa. The first connection on 14the January 1969 was between the University of California Los Angeles and the Stanford research institute” (2007, para.1). In addition, 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 for 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 this kind of addiction cause many social problems people. People who spend many hours on games or surfing internet are less likely to have a good social life because they don’t have a direct contact with other people even if they play online games they stile have that kind of skill which can not improve without interact with other people directly. Also, we read or hear about death of people due to use of Internet.” Simon's response was, "see you on the other side". A chatroom user known as "aldead" wished Simon farewell, while another said "happy bus ride" - "bus ride" being the term the users have for committing suicide” (2008, para.5). The story of Simon is one of hundreds stories that the world addresses every day. In addition many people are really interesting in one of the TV programs shows “predators”. This program designed to show people who our world is full of bad people using internet. It is simply use a fake person who just surf the internet and preened that she/he is underage and that is the entire role that person plays, than the cast of that program start to chat with people who already know that person they are talking to is a kid. The Majority of the people that are talking to the kid want to make a sexual relationship regardless the age of that kid. Therefore, limiting use of internet may help to solve such problems, which affect not only businesses, but also families, individuals and the society.
Next, Internet use by the staff during work was one of the most important factors in companies’ losses. The preoccupation of the employees in using the Internet to download songs, movies or enter chat rooms may cause a disaster to companies. According to Stafford (2007), companies are really facing these problems every day many employees going to MySpace or other websites because they don’t feel that using internet at home is safe because of wives or kid. Many companies use internet to help in completing work quickly and accurately, not for personal use.”From employees checking personal emails, instant messaging friends and family, playing computer games, and web surfing on sites like MySpace and YouTube, these unproductive activities are all a reality for every organization.”(n.d. para,4). Therefore, many companies start to limit their internet access by using entrant instead of internet and kind of programs can not allow employees to surf beyond the organization will limit their surfing. Thus, the limiting of Internet access at work is becoming very important to save the company from 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. ”High-tech companies say governments will need their help to beat fraudsters, virus writers, malicious hackers and perpetrators of other cyber crimes.” (2000, para.2). 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. The system is designed to give parents control over net content by blocking access to certain sites and chatrooms known to be used by paedophiles. The filters can be sent to block access to nudity, violence, drug and alcohol promotions”(2002, para.4). Thus, controlling the Internet by government, parents and companies will help to protect the community from misuse of internet.
Opponents claim that limiting internet access is against human rights. However, this argument does not cover the whole problem. In fact people want to save their money and time, and also they want to be sure that their children won’t be at risk when the surf the internet. It is not normal to give anyone a gun without a explaining the danger of that gun and what the results are if he/she misuses 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 everyone of us carrying his gun in his hand and having the right to fire anywhere at any time. Therefore, limiting internet access is the only way to protect our people and communities from 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 to save people’s rights. Campiness that provided internet services should take the responsibility to provide programs that can help to limiting the access to interment. Also, governments should force that campiness to have a technology that allows them to track any users in order to prevent them form committing their crimes on the internet. In addition parents should do the observing their kids when the surf internet by using same technology which is internet. Many companies provide many programs that can help to monitoring the internet websites.
