    Benefits and risks of the

    internet.
    Benefits:
    Among the many benefits that children report to make good use of the
    Internet, we have the following:

    It facilitates their socialization process through the use of services such


    as chats, network games, participation in certain social networks, and so
    on. In this way the child feels integrated into a group with which he
    communicates and shares concerns and hobbies.

    It facilitates their access to science, culture and leisure by favoring and


    completing their education outside the school environment.

    It facilitates the accomplishment of scholastic tasks and personal works


    enhancing its ability to search, analyze and make decisions individually.

    Facilitates the accomplishment of tasks school in group putting at your


    disposal collaborative tools on line.
    It facilitates the learning process for pupils with long-term illnesses and who have to stay
    away from classrooms for long periods of time.

    It facilitates the monitoring by parents of the teaching-learning process of their children.


    Tutorial work benefits because parent-tutor communication is faster and more effective.

    It improves the academic results, according to show statistics realized on these


    subjects.

    Sure that there are still more benefits.


    Risks:
    As for the risks involved in the use of the Internet we can group them in:

    Relative to type and access to information.

    The child has available large volumes of information of all kinds, without any classification or
    access control most of the time. This favors their access to written, visual or auditory
    information not according to their age. Such is the case of violent content, xenophobes, sects
    of all kinds, pornographic contents, or related to cyberbullying, etcetera.

    Relative to personal relationships.

    We can say that the Internet favors interpersonal relationships since it brings people closer
    together, albeit telematically. But this in itself carries a risk since the user can falsify reality
    and show himself to others in a way different from what he is in reality, and even falsify his
    identity.
    On the other hand Internet can also favor isolation. The child with problems of socialization
    can be more self-contained, since having a tool that opens the door to the world does not
    need direct communication with others.
    Finally, the Internet can also produce dangerous addictions, such as network games, social
    networks, chats, participation in auctions, gambling, and so on.
    Relative to the Internet's own functioning.

    There are also risks arising from the network itself. On the Internet there are always risk
    situations arising from the technology used. The fearsome viruses, worms, backdoors, which
    can cause great damage to our home computers.

    Concerning economic issues.

    Many young people are not aware that connecting to certain web pages require providing
    data that can be a major expense. There are also purchases of dark nature, deceit, illegal
    business and a long etcetera. There is a very wide range of options in the network that can
    be deceiving and this affects us financially.
    On the other hand, many young people are also unaware of the issue of illegal downloads
    without realizing that they are causing significant damage to owners.
