4. Benefits of Internet
a) To Students
Online Education
Tutorials
Research
Connecting with friends
b) In business
Globalization
While computers have been blamed for decreased activity and interaction in the local community, the Internet has been credited with providing a window into the global world. It allows anyone with a computer to think globally and has allowed the business world to forge international relationships with new vendors (to lower costs) and new customers (to increase sales).
Communication
100 years ago it might have taken over a month to get a letter to a friend in another country. Today, communication is as easy as a mouse click, and much cheaper too. Anyone in the world can communicate with another person through text messages, emails, and even live video. For business, this means higher efficiency and quicker processing of sales.
Cost Effectiveness
Perhaps the most obvious benefit of the Internet is cost savings. Information at faster speeds saves time, which either saves or makes money. Many functions in the business process, i.e. bookkeeper, have been automated, which has helped to streamline processes and reduce the cost of labor.
Dangers on the Internet
Dangers of the Internet for professionals and retirees.
For working professionals here are some of the common dangers of the Internet:
Phishing
Phishing is derived from the word 'fishing'. Like fishing, phishing is an attempt to obtain sensitive information like username and password for online banking, credit card information by leading an unsuspecting user to a fake website. The fake website is often a duplicate of a legitimate website but designed to gather username and password.
Phishing usually starts with a fake email that would appear to be coming from a legitimate bank and would ask you to verify your account. The link on that email might appear legitimate but would actually lead you to a phishing site.

Scams
Scammers and schemers will always do something to obtain easy money illegally. On the Internet, there are a number of ways that these fraudulent people try to steal money from the unsuspecting user.
Investment Scams - Perhaps it would start with an email like the one below. They would offer high return low or NO-RISK investment. At first, you might get some returns even get the return they promised. But soon, when you start to 're-invest' with a higher amount, they vanish like a bubble in thin air.

Online Dating Scams - for those who are seeking for a partner online beware. Scammers may use a legitimate online dating site or even a social network. They will create fake profile designed to lure their would-be victims. They would do great lengths to gain your trust and shower you with words full of affection and emotion. Then, later on, they would say, they have a medical emergency and need financial assistance and ask you for some.
Online Selling/Purchase Scams
Scamming on online shops could go both ways. Online selling scams and online buying scams.
For the former, an untrusted site could scam the buyers in two ways.
1. The seller may not send the item or send a low quality item, or
2. The seller may send the bought item, but may use the credit card information gathered.
For the latter, the buyer will trick the seller to send the item before he or she actually sends the payment.
