55 years with internet / The Day
55 years have passed since on October 29, 1969, the United States Department of Defense created Arpanet, which was a system created in the Cold War to avoid dependence on a central computer and facilitate a communications network that would make the American military communications. Subsequently, it was in 1991 when the World Wide Web (worldwide computer network, WWW) was created, developed by the British scientist Tim Berner’s Lee.
Finally, a network of international computers connected to each other that allows public access begins to be created and continues to this day through an improvement to make it easier for any citizen to connect through the ease of this system. An idea that, in principle, was created for good and to facilitate communications between people, but we have seen that in many cases there is the use of this authentic revolution in the world to commit crimes and cause harm to many people against the global benefits of the Internet.
Well, if any of us wake up one day and find that this Internet created to facilitate our communications at breakneck speed is not working, it gives us something.
We have become accustomed to a continuous and constant dependence on the Internet connection, with the advantages that the use of email provides us, direct intercommunication for our work or personal activity represents an improvement in communications also due to the use of WhatsApp, everything which determines that immediacy in the possibility of communicating with other people.
But if the internet doesn’t work one day we are paralyzed. That is also a great truth. And we ask ourselves: what do I do now? Because we have verified that any Internet outage, or mobile connection problems causes us real personal chaos that prevents us from doing things that we are used to doing every day due to the instant connection that we have through the Internet, because being used to it Due to the advantages provided by the use of this technology, we feel truly helpless if one day we cannot do the things we are used to doing on a daily basis. And we realize what we have when we lack it. What a great truth.
The Internet has thus provided many personal and work advantages when it comes to facilitating our work and our personal relationships, but it also constitutes in some cases a burden when the Internet is used to commit crimes, such as the proliferation of sexual crime caused by the distribution of pornography. on the Internet, the easy access that minors have to these publications and that is causing an evident psychological imbalance in people who carry out criminal acts due to the proliferation of pornography on the Internet. We cannot forget, either, the Internet crime that exists through online scams that cause a lot of property damage to people and banking entities, as well as to businesses that are scammed by people who use the Internet to get rich, giving them exactly the same impoverishment as they do. can cause people who lack economic resources and for whom a scam can cause a significant lien.
Recently, the Supreme Court handed down a ruling in which a person was convicted of a scam for having advertised a rental home on the Internet that did not belong to him, and at a very cheap price to provoke a person who needed to look for a rental home. at an interesting price to fall into the trap and make a transfer of the amount they claimed for rent, when the home was not theirs, causing significant damage to a person who needed that money to rent and who, in response to the claim of a low price, caused It was easy for a vulnerable person in need of housing to fall into the trap.
Therefore, it would be necessary to approve an information protocol that is publicized so that all citizens could check how crime committed on the Internet acts and prevent unscrupulous people from taking advantage of the vulnerability and ignorance of many citizens who fall into these fraud, as well as restricting access to certain Internet pages by minors and people who access sexual content. But for this it would be necessary for service providers to go down into the arena of solutions and collaborate by limiting access to certain pages to some people who were convicted of these acts and who should be deleted from their service offering to prevent the Internet from also has become a den of crime in some sectors. However, on many occasions we do not have the collaboration of service providers to delete content on the Internet that would greatly reduce this crime that is easily detected, but poorly controlled and prevented. The Internet has been a very good invention. One of the best. But let’s prevent it from being used by those who take advantage of it to cause harm to others.
