    Information Technology is good, but will turn bad if fell on the wrong hands. Everybody has the access to everything they like, so they can surf and will eventually learn bad stuffs like porn, bullies, indecent language and foul attitude. They will meet different people from the internet, and they could found bad influences rather than informative and helpful ones. They can also became an "addict", which they can't tear off themselves from their computers. They had so many things to ponder on the web, so they are more exposed in dangerous information.

    Children having easy access to objectionable material. Paedophiles having a new way to easily share information and stalk victims. Cyber bullying. Easy identity theft. Employees using work time to do their own things on the computer instead of for the boss. People losing the art of writing a letter instead of an email. Not hearing another person's voice when you communicate with them, so losing out on the nuances of what they're saying - sarcastic or genuine? Always being able to be contacted, and never having time to be alone.
